Feysand: The TRUE and ONLY ACOTAR Hades and Persephone Retelling
For those who are unfamiliar with the story of Hades of Persephone, here is a little run down:
Hades aka God of Underworld and the Dead, God of Hidden Wealth, God of Darkness of Night, One of the Most Powerful Gods in Greek Mythology
Persephone aka Goddess of Spring, Goddess of the Underworld, Bringer/Goddess of Death, Goddess of Seasons
Hades was in love with Persephone and kidnaps abducts her to the Underworld while she was in blooming flowers
Hades tricks (or bargains) Persephone into spending a certain amount of time in the underworld
Persephone becomes the Goddess of The Underworld, a title that is equal to that of Hades who is one of the most powerful Gods and rules along side him which was a novel concept in Greek mythology
Since apparently this needs to be spelled out for certain people to stop proclaiming that their ship *cough cough Elriel couch cough* is the Hades and Persephone retelling, let’s go step by step into how Feysand is 100% SJM’s Hades and Persephone story:
Rhysand, High Lord of the Night Court and the Most Powerful High Lord in History
Feyre, a bride of Spring, has all the powers of the High Lords (aka has all the powers of the seasons), and is High Lady of The Night Court
In the story of Feysand, Rhys is in love with Feyre and kidnaps her from Spring, a place of blooming flowers
Rhys tricked Feyre into a bargain so she has to spend time with him in his world for a certain amount of time
Feyre becomes Rhys’ equal as High Lady of the Night Court, something that is novel to their world
And before anyone says this is all up to interpretation, this line in ACOMAF literally exists:
SJM explicitly is saying Feysand in a Hades and Persephone retelling here and if you think otherwise, you’re just playing yourself.
And to those that are insistent that Elriel can still be a Hades and Persephone retelling, I’ll kindly remind you that one of your main arguments against Gwynriel is that you believe it won’t happen since it will be like Nessian 2.0. So which is it?
Elriel and Feysand are both a Hades and Persephone retelling and SJM will write the Feysand story 2.0 with Elriel including the same elements that you guys love to harp on?
Or SJM won’t do a retelling of the same story?
The hypocrisy.
Also friendly reminder: Persephone thrived in the darkness of the underworld and her name literally means bringer of death; Elain looks like she’s dead in the darkness of the night court, gets violently ill over death, and her name literally means light. She is a great many things, but she is not Persephone.

Do you like Persephone? Please read if you do!
Hi! I'm Meli, and I'm a classics student who is writing a paper on Persephone and modern reception of her myth. In doing so, I'd like to gather information from as many people as possible to get a well-rounded view of how she is perceived by people interested in her! This includes Hellenic polytheists, academics, fans of Greek myth in general, or fans of modern retellings like Lore Olympus, Hadestown, Punderworld, etc.
Thank you if you do participate! Reblogs are appreciated!
