Heraclitus was from Ephesus. Technically Persian. Did he not share the same beliefs as the Achaeans, those that took the Eleusinian Mysteries?

Artemis. I believe there’s a lot hidden and distorted about her stories and character.

Hades though...
Read this study of the story. Really liked the story and it’s connections to the very roots of pre-Olympian and the mysteries cult.
Also read Vidal’s Julian, where We see the last emperor take the rights that will allow him to Elysium

Not really. It was an arranged relationship and against her will. The terms were eventually quite generous though, so like a royal, she learned to be fine with it. Spending only 1/3rd of the year with him and the rest with her mother. Whom she loved more.

Because it is the classic archetype of the straight girls lifecycle. Her father sends her off to marriage without her mother’s consent, big drama, she does indeed become bigger and more important in the afterlife because we don’t suffer as a shadow wandering around caverns, but in Elysium.
But hey, you don’t like how kids translate this shit, don’t look at it, ya dumb ox.
Start with the Greeks and learn something
