===Cthonic Gods=== * '''Persephone''': Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of Spring, grain and nature. She was the certain of the kerfuffled that was her abduction by Hades (which was more-or-less arranged by Zeus). They eventually ended up appreciating one another and becoming the most sincere and most solid couple of all Greek Mythology. While she isn't directly tied to the seasons themselves, Spring and Summer come everytime she visits Mount Olympus to see her mother Demeter, and Autumn and Winter when she goes back to the Underworld. Demeter is doing all of this season-changing business actually, because of the strong bond between them. * '''Angelos''': Contrary to what her name indicates, she is ''not'' an angel. Daughter of Zeus and Hera, she was casted into the Underworld for stealing Hera's annointments. We don't know much about her or what her role was in the myths or in ancient greek religions. She's also tied with other enigmatics cthonic gods such as the Cabeiroi of which we know next to nothing about. What we do know is that her actions eventually led to the birth of Hecate. * '''Charon''': The Ferryman of the Underworld. Either an old man or a skeleton transporting the dead (or the living) on the Styx for the very good price of two coins for the trip. Famously led Orpheus to get his chick back, but also Heracles, Odysseus... Well a whole lot of peeps really. He's Thanatos and Hypno's brother, surprisingly enough. Yes, he's not a god, but he's the almighty janitor of the Underworld. Nobody disrespect Charon. ''Nobody''. * '''The Erinyes/The Furies''': The Goddesses/Personifications of Vengeance. Daughters of Nyx. Or Hades and Persephone. Or Cronus. Nobody knows. Their role is to make sure [[Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy)|grudges and oaths are properly settled]]. They go to all sorts of lenghts to make sure that they are enforced, and they take pride in setting them all right. They live in the Underworld and are known to be absolutely relentless. So much so that even the fucking Romans feared them. Yeah, the Greek ones, not their version called the Dirae. * '''Hecate''': Goddess of Boundaries, the Moons, death, ghosts and necromancy of all things. A three-faced lady of many origins, some greek, some egyptian, and who's role in Greek religion was oddly diversed. Nonetheless, she was one of the most reverred Cthonic gods, as she was tied directly to the dead themselves and magic as well. It is often theorized by historians that she precedes gods like Zeus because of how frequently her name is found in scriptures and sanctuaries. Which is funny for a goddess that has such a minor role in Mythology. * '''Melinoë''': A Goddess, or a nymph, with a stange elvish-sounding name. Daughter of Hades (or Zeus) and Persephones, sister of Zagreus Tied to magic and witchcraft. Her role in the Underworld was tied to the passage of souls into the different realms of Hades. Not much is known about her aswell, but we do know that she served as a psychopomp. That, and as an omen of how mysterious and eerie the world can be. The Greeks believed in magic, but it was a form of knowledge that no mortal should know. Only Melinoë and the other goddesses of magic truly know what sort of dark world lies silent. * '''Zagreus''': Possibly a Cthonic god. We don't know much about him besides the fact that he was destined to become the new leader of the Olympians by thwarting them all off of the Mount. Hera turned him into divine giblets and Zeus made poriddge out of him. Because he was just that powerful. And he was just a kid at that time. Would later become famous as the main character of the highly acclaimed rogue-like Diablo-esque action game '''Hades''', lover of Thanatos and Megara, a Fury.
