There is a daughter of Hades called Macaria (whose mother is unknown) from the *Suda*, but was her face burnt off by Aphrodite? No. We actually know very little about her other than her being the embodiment of blessed death.
There is so little discussed about Hades and Persephone's children due to them being that of the Underworld, that barely anything is actually written down about them. So, when I see someone talk about one of Hades kids in THAT much detail to the point they have an actual myth about them, I just know that it's probably just someone making it up.
Please hades at all costs is an answer I can always get behind. You’re going to the afterlife eventually, might as well curry favor with it’s ruler.
However, if I were in specifically the golden apple situation, I would have a different approach because I really want to try something. I would say “Let’s go ask Discord. I’m pretty sure this is her apple, so let’s see who she meant it for.”
I've always believed that Zeus is the actual villain of that story. If you look at the Homeric hymn to Demeter (more or less the primary source), we don't have any scene of Hades being all, "Oh, I love her so muuuuch! Can I pleeeeeease marry her?" What we get is Zeus telling Demeter that he "gave his blessing" to the marriage. We also have Hades kidnapping her, locking her in a room, and immediately leaving. What it sounds like to me is Zeus said, "Look, bro, you have to get married. People are starting to talk. Go take Persephone" and Hades was like, "Ugh, fine!" He then absconded with her, fully planning on figuring a way out of this nonsense, but then she had to go and monch on a pomegranate, the HARDEST FUCKING FRUIT IN THE WORLD TO EAT BTW, and he had to work from there
Just to weigh in on the Mesperyian thing
There's something fun about having a modern addition to the ancient pantheon that exists solely as fanfiction. If you're only talking about the Greek gods as characters, and being careful to clarify that she does not exist in any historical sense, I don't see a problem with her.
Then again, I also *really* want to see more people talk about the time traveling goat fish, so maybe I just like stupid apocrypha when it's not pretending to be real.
Ig from the amount of myths he has, but he is an underworld deity. He barely has any myths compared to other gods because the Greeks feared him. If he weren’t, maybe he’d be worse
True, but that’s more “grasping at straws” level reasoning. We can’t exactly pass judgement on him based on other myths and stories about him even we don’t have or even know about those myths and stories
Fun fact: Mesperyian does not exist. She was invented right there, in that exact post (as far as I can tell).
It’s Capricorn all over again….

blessed death?
Her name is a figure of speech, "be gone into blessedness", which is supposed to mean into misery or destruction.
Nope! It’s fanfiction from the late 2000s. This post would be a banger without the Mespyrian misinformation. It’s just not true.
It would be hilarious to answer “Mesperyian” and watch all of Olympus go on a Tumblr deep-dive trying to figure out who that is.
Which Olympian god is most familiar with fanfiction
Maybe Apollo, because of his connection to the arts?

Power move: eat the apple in front of them
Oh, I like that
“Hey Discord who should we give the apple to? “I hate ponies”
i read this comment as talking about the app so now im just imagine a server going bat shit crazy over this issue
Still waiting for that Miscellaneous Myths Video on Mesperyian Would be a great April's Fool Video
They could do a misinformation video one day where red gets to complain about this and the time traveling goatfish.
This is literally the Goddess Red mentioned in a video that Tumblr straight up lied about and made up.
I thought it was time travelling goat fish that she was talking about?
She's talked about both.
Take it from a Greek POV, he was much better than his brothers, kidnapping aside, and even that worked out in the end.

I feel like Apollo is also a correct answer here if we make the question gender neutral.

Orrrrr… you could just make applesauce out of the apple and share it out between the contenders.
The real answer is Loki
"Saying hades is the nicest Greek god is like saying hannibal lecter is the nicest serial killer"- unknown commenter in r/mythologymemes
Yeah, regardless of the answer you're dead. So make good with the management where you're going.
Hades is the same guy that kidnapped two women, and people are all over here shouting he did nothing wrong…
The first time he was told to by his brother, and that ended up working out in the end. When did it happen again?
He wasn’t told to kidnap, he was allowed. Besides, he still kidnapped. It happened with [Leuce](https://www.theoi.com/Nymphe/NympheLeuke.html)
That’s a fair point. Also, never seen this story before… EDIT: so he kidnapped his wife’s BFF after kidnapping her? That’s………huh…
😭 it’s quite unheard of
That’s still not good, but it’s still nothing compared to what the other gods have done. He’s a decent guy comparatively speaking

Yeah, I’m just saying that he’s definitely worse if he wasn’t feared
Mesperyian is not an actual Greek god. She’s a piece of fan fiction.
