He Refers to Them As His Tribute to Me
One of the wonderful things about living with Hades is the jewelry he brings me. We’re in the underworld and so what that means is that he has first choice of everything that is down below.
He’ll bring me the particularly large stones and in the darkness here, they’re luminescent, glowing.
He refers to them as his tribute to me.
“Thanks for playing along with my game of abducting you. I needed someone to reign with me here in Hell. Who else can inspire everyone down below here?”
What I can’t figure out is how Hades really feels about me. He really doesn’t want me around here all the time. In a sense my eating the six pomegranate seeds truly was my “fortunate fall”—at least from his point of view. He wants me while I’m here but then he wants me to go.
If that’s not ambivalence, I don’t know what is.
When I’m here, I have a job to do—the one that Hades de facto hired me to do—to preside and to be the chief of inspiration.
