Dear Reader,
Names Hades, lord of the dead, nice to meet ya. Now, I've started this little diary thing in order to set the record straight. Now, you guys go to school right? I'm sure you're all pretty smart. You guys have all heard about the whole victor writes the history books, and they usually spin it in their favor in your history class, am I right? Well the exact same thing happened to me when Zeus became the big guy, and I got stuck in the rat hole that is the underworld.
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Hey, this guys nuts!" Now, before you write me off as a whack job, hear me out!
I'm not really a bad guy. It's just the whole "lord of the dead" thing that usually tends to turn people against me, and I think that's totally unfair! In fact, most of the things that these stupid myths have said I've done wrong aren't even my fault. Apparently being the master of the underworld automatically makes you some evil, power-hungry tyrant who's never nice to anyone.
I mean, you've all seen the Disney version of Hercules right? You guys all saw how old Walt made me look like some evil guys who wanted to take over the world right? Totally wrong!
Anyways, like I said before, I'm going to set the record straight! I'll be going through a bunch of myths that portray me as the bad guy and telling you what really happened. No more of Zeus's version of things. It's my turn and I'm going to set the record straight once and for all!
Yours respectfully,
Hades, Lord of the Dead
