Hades has to tell Persephone about his past relationship with Hera, which had to remain hidden, and he also recounts the story of his father, Kronos. Together with his brothers and sisters &#8211; Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter and Hestia &#8211; Hades once rebelled against Kronos and eventually succeeded in overthrowing him. But victory came at a price: the siblings were left scarred and cursed, with Hera suffering particularly badly. Hades was then made god of the Underworld and given the responsibility of keeping Kronos imprisoned in Tartarus. The volume ends with the trial of Persephone and Demeter, which quickly descends into complete chaos, with everyone accusing everyone else and old grievances coming to the surface. A very entertaining volume, full of revelations, drama and plenty of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8221; &#8211; I need to talk to you two. OH, AWESOME!
