Why these tropes fit
In a reimagined New Greece, Hades, God of the Dead, refuses Hera's proposal to overthrow Zeus and is punished with a series of impossible labors. These punishing feats increasingly distract him from his lover Persephone, Goddess of Spring, who is grappling with her own tragedy and questioning whether she can fulfill her role as Queen of the Underworld. The narrative is told from Hades's perspective as he is forced to balance the demands of the divine court with his duties to Persephone.
