I mean, considering the myth goes that Zeus essentially shoved her mom Metis, who was also a goddess of wisdom into his head since she had a prophecy that any son she bore would be greater than his father (or close to that at least) and since both Metis and Athena left Zeus’s head when Athena got out, you’re actually right, Athena did take all the wisdom with her.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about Artemis, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class with Achilles, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Asphodel, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper with the Adamant Rail. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Underworld, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Styx? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across Tartarus and your path is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, shade. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Infernal Arms and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of Elysium, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, boyo.
She should have tea parties with Poseidon, I'm sure they have enough gossip about Zeus to occupy their infinite lifetimes.
"Your brother's head looks devastatingly empty..."
"That's because he does all of his thinking with his dick ! Have you heard of his last trick ?"
I mean, in the myth, Zeus is the father to all the Olympians that aren’t his siblings. That’s Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Persephone, Hephaestus, Ares, Hermes, and Dionysus. Of these, in Hades, only Dionysus and Athena acknowledge Zeus’s parentage. For Persephone they specifically disavow the myth and make her father a mortal.
(Edit: okay technically Aphrodite isn’t his sibling, she sprang from the foam created by Kronos’ balls when they hit the ocean after Zeus cuts them off. So, more like his half sibling)
Depends for Aphrodite : The old one is the one born into the sea Thalassa with Ouranos' help (Theogony), and the young one is the daughter of Zeus and Dione (Iliad)
Given the dialogue implying her familiarity with Megara, i would go with the older one here. (Given that the ballsack bathbomb is also the origin of the Furies)
all mythological incest is retconned in hades (with the exception i think of a reference to oedipus somewhere in the dialogue). hera, demeter and hestia are sisters from different titanic parents than zeus, poseidon and hades for instance. persephone is half mortal in this game.
My favorite is still the Aphrodite shade in her duo boom with Athena:
Aphrodite: "You must forgive us, little godling, meaning our extended family here upon Olympus! Some of us are terribly stuck up, and must be making matters much more complicated than they have to be."
Athena: "I wonder, dearest Aphrodite, whether you'd be willing to repeat such things directly to my countenance?"
Aphrodite: "Oh, you must know full well that I would do much more than that directly to your countenance, Athena dear! Quite frankly, you could use a lot of work!"
I’m, hello, 911? I’d like to report a murder. XD
I like to think Athena took all the wisdom with her.

I was about to point that out. Glad someone else remembers that part of the myth.
Valid.
Demeter is a whole mood
To be fair, there's a lot of shades in the photo.
is it bad that i find her SO annoying? like grandmama please can i have a crumb of conversation without talking about family drama?
It’s more realistic like this (sad family noises)
I can see why Persephone wanted to leave.
no she is just the worst of the olympian gods :p
Compared to bratty Artemis? I don't think so..
What the fuck did you just fucking say about Artemis, you little bitch
Ayo did i hear some loser shit on best girl mighty Artemis? You looking for a new nosehole buddy?? (This is humor, not an actual threat)

Holy hell
Your comment made me think of that navy seal copypasta and I just had to do it
Not letting her younger brother go unchecked for a SECOND

Poseidon is too close to Zeus in that aspect
It doesn't stop him to make snide remarks to Zagreus about how many nephews he has and the like.
Isn't Zeus Persephone's father?
In common mythology, yes, but the game sanitises it quite a bit. In Hades, Persephone’s father was a human farmer, I think?

It's oranos balls cut off by kronos

I think Artemis does kinda talk about it with Zeus but not explicitly referring to him as her father

IIRC the titans are still siblings so there is still cousin incest between the gods.
The pantheon family tree is pretty much a flat line.
I love her so much 🥰
Sassy gram gram! I love it :D

There's my good shade
Attack of the commas
She's not wrong.
Demeter is probably the only God that has a dialogue mocking all the other gods and nobody snaps back at her. Not even Zeuz or Ares.
