He scowled at Jason. And please, I don't like being touched. Don't ever grab me again.
Rick Riordan
Image
We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on.
Walt Disney

CERBERUS, n. The watch-dog of Hades, whose duty it was to guard the entrance - against whom or what does not clearly appear everybody, sooner or later, had to go there, and nobody wanted to carry off the entrance.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
For Hades is mighty in calling men to account below the earth, and with a mind that records in tablets he surveys all things.
Aeschylus
Image
For a single path leads to the house of Hades.
Aeschylus
Image
What we see in history is not a transformation, a passing of one race into another, but entirely new and perfect creations, which the ever-youthful productivity of nature sends forth from the invisible realm of Hades.
Adolf Bastian
Image
Artemis smiled. You have done well, my lieutenant. You have made me proud, and all those Hunters who perished in my service will never be forgotten. They will achieve Elysium, I am sure. She glared pointedly at Hades. He shrugged. Probably. Artemis glared at him some more. Okay, Hades grumbled. I'll streamline their application process
Rick Riordan
Image
The descent into Hades is much the same from whatever place we start.
Anaxagoras
Image
Now fight me! For today thee House of Hades will be called the saviors of Olympus.
Rick Riordan

The truth hit him. Jason wasn't quite Roman anymore. His time at Camp Half-Blood had changed him. Reyna had recognized that. Apparently, so did the undead legionnaires. If Jason no longer gave off the right sort of vibe, or aura of a Roman leader.
Rick Riordan
Image
No one can hurry me down to Hades before my time, but if a man's hour is come, be he brave or be he coward, there is no escape for him when he has once been born.
Homer
Image
You'll see all other mortal sinners, the ones who flout the honor owed to gods or guests, or loving parents--you'll see them get the justice they deserve. For Hades holds men mightily to a strict accounting down below the earth he sees all things, inscribes them within the book of his remembering.
Aeschylus
Image
If there is a special Hades for writers is would be in the forced contemplation of their own works.
John Dos Passos
Image
He was making a brave attempt, but Jason could see the sadness lingering in his eyes. Something had happened to him... something to do with Calypso.
Rick Riordan
Image
Easy is the descent to hell all night long, all day, the doors of dark Hades stand open but to retrace the path to come out again to the sweet air of Heaven - there is the task, there is the burden.
Virgil
Image
Here was a torture that Greek inventors of the Feast and the Stone had omitted from their Hades: the Blanket of Self-Deception. A lovely warm blanket as far as it covered the soul in torment, but it never quite covered everything.
Jonathan Franzen
Image
For even bold natures flee, whenever they see Hades close to life.
Sophocles
Image
Nico drank from the chalice, then offered it to Jason. You asked me about trust, and taking a risk? Well, here you go, son of Jupiter. How much do you trust me? Frank wasn't sure what Nico was talking about, but Jason didn't hesitate. He took the cup and drank.
Rick Riordan
Image
I would join Sisyphus in Hades and gladly push my boulder up the slope if only, each time it rolled back down, I were given a line of Aeschylus.
Tom Stoppard
Image
I'm afraid not. Hades sighed. My son here convinced me that perhaps I should prioritize my list of enemies. He glared at me with distaste. As much as I dislike certain upstart demigods, it would not do for Olympus to fall. I would miss bickering with my siblings. And if there is one thing we agree on - it is that you were a TERRIBLE father
Rick Riordan

As for my brothers,' Zeus said, 'we are thankful -' he cleared his throat, like the words were hard to get out - 'erm, thankful for the aid of Hades.' The Lord of the Dead nodded. He had a smug look on his face, but I figure he'd earned the right. He patted his son Nico on the shoulders, and Nico looked happier than I'd ever seen him.
Rick Riordan
Image
Nico's voice was like broken glass. I- I wasn't in love with Annabeth. You were jealous of her, Jason said. That's why you didn't want to be around her. Especially why you don't want to be around... him. It makes total sense.
Rick Riordan
Image
What horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into Hades's underwear?
Rick Riordan
Image
The road to Hades is easy to travel at any rate men pass away with their eyes shut.
Bion of Borysthenes
