Like I said in previous panel : someone decided to do something stupid. 😀
As for the old lady (forgot the name), looks like she knows much more about subrealm than she let peaple think. Is she involved in our Twilight Lady’s imprisonment decades ago ?
Correction to my above statement: She used the Roman form of Persephone, my fact checking shows Pluto to actually be the Greek equivalent of Dis Pater. I was always under the impression that it was a Roman name based mostly on the former planet of the same name (I believe they all use Roman names, I will have to verify this now).
Let’s be honest, most laypersons use the Roman/Greek names interchangeably. You say Jupiter and Hera, and the average guy on the street won’t know any better. It’s a fairly reasonable mistake for a character to make. 😉
Hades is the Greek god of the dead and the underworld, and brother to Zeus and Poseidon, while Pluto is his Roman counterpart. Pluto however didn’t just represent the underworld and dead, but also wealth and all the riches beneath the earth. I always thought it was weird because Hades was not considered one of the twelve Olympians in some versions of Greek mythology because he was not well liked and he rarely left his own realm, and Pluto is now not considered a planet because it’s not big enough.

I guess she is. But i think Eleonore is involved too.
I got my pdf, but I prefer to read here and wait for updates. If I read now, it will be long waiting for new pages.
She says Greek, but uses the Roman names for Hades and Persephone. Wonderful job.
this comic is amazing the characters design is awesome and the plot is quit interesting.
also kind of out of habit i must point out that pluto wasn’t greek mythology he was in roman mythology

@Wolfgang I’m pretty sure the planets were named after the Roman gods, not the other way arround.
Greek=Hades. Roman=Pluto.
It makes more sense that Pluto would be the counterpart of Dispater. Pluto’s name is more associated with wealth than with the dead, after all.
Incidentally, Albert’s post happens to be the 5000th comment on this site.
Quite a milestone. I think a toast is in order.
Here’s to fame and fortune, then. 😉
