Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Episode 18 Summary: “Forest for the Trees”

Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon arrive at a strip club and are promptly told by the hostess that they are banned: Zeus, for pinching women’s rear ends; Poseidon, for breaking the mermaid tank; and Hades, for offering a job to a nymph who worked there. Hades smooths the situation over by writing a check for the mermaid tank, even though his brothers make fun of him for still using a checkbook like an old man.

Zeus asks about Persephone; his grandson, Eros, told him about the situation. Zeus and Poseidon ask if they had sex; Hades, embarrassed, says they just talked. Zeus and Poseidon exchange smirks. Poseidon says that if that’s how he feels, he might see if Persephone is available to be his second wife. Hades flips out, grabbing Poseidon by the head and shouting at him, betraying his true feelings. Zeus asks if he is going to stop holding out on them.

Episode 19 Summary: “A Fifth of Gin”

Hades pats Poseidon on the head, apologizing, and embarrassed for making a scene. Hades fesses up to liking Persephone. However, he thinks the idea that she would reciprocate his feelings is ridiculous.
