i guess i’m not super knowledgeable about greek mythology so i just thought it was a neat re-telling of orpheus and eurydice, but i can see how they took some liberties with characterization there.
oh it’s so long since i actually studied any source material– and even then, what was it, like, Edith Hamilton? I am not really all that well-educated in these matters– that what’s going on here is me realizing I have decades of accrued gunk in my understanding of the source material and I honestly don’t know where most of it is from.
I was like, “he’s not like that in the book!” and then i was like “what fucking book”– that was the point I was trying to make, really, there isn’t a single definitive source on this, and so me deciding that he’s OOC is like… uh… pretty freaking rich really.
