When I played this, I started crying when he said "That thing, that's the sun?" The voice acting was so good there. It hadn't occurred to me that our guy Zag had never seen the sun, that he'd be seeing it for the first time. All the dead have seen the sun, and most of the gods and incarnates. This is the moment where we really get to see what it actually means to be born and raised and trapped in the Underworld. The way the line is delivered conveys genuine wonder. You can hear it in the voice that he's trying to understand what he's seeing, only knowing it from being told about it. It's such a simple thing but for me it packed an emotional punch.

It is seriously masterful for such a bittersweet ending to STILL make all the hell of making it to this point worth it. You could technically stop playing at this point and it would be such a great Greek tragedy, but I'm glad the game lets us go further.
@sailormoon262

Spoilers: To go even further, I'm glad the game gives you the option to reverse many Greek tragedies if you put the time into the game. Persephone finally agrees to go back to the Underworld after ten successful attempts, reuniting the Hades family. Zagreus can change Orpheus' contract to Hades to allow him to reunite with his wife, Eurydice. He can also alter Achilles' contract so he could reunite him with his lover, Patroclus. He can convince Megara and the other Furies to go easier on Sisyphus, who has long repented from his whole cheating Death trick (plus giving Thanatos time to forgive him, too.) He can convince Chaos and Nyx to start speaking with each other again after centuries of silence. He can get Hypnos and Thanatos to finally get along. He can make Dusa feel less like a servant and more a member of the family. Most importantly, Zagreus can reconcile the past relationships he had Meg, Than, and even his father Hades, getting his own closure after their cold and aggressive start. It's honestly details like that that make this the best rogue-like I've ever played, hands down.

I've always thought that she started naive, like all young people, but became wise, powerful, and mature over time. The original myth seems to suggest such development.

The song that plays here, "On the Coast," is a genuine masterpiece. It plays out your death, but not in the sudden and violent ways you have before. It plays out the desperate sadness of being instead gently whisked away by the Styx. And the way it blends so smoothly into Zagreus' pained last words to his mother is heart wrenching.

When people dont even know the myths and try to sound clever. Winter is not caused by Persephone herself, or rather the absence of her. It is Demeter who unleashes her sorrow upon earth when she misses her daughter. In old tales this was usually the case when Persephone was in Hades indeed. But if you actually had payed attention in the game, you would remember that Demeter didnt even knew where her daughter was, she had no contact to her, which is basically the same thing to Persephone being with Hades.
