Home
With the world out of tune, the concept of home varied widely between gods and men. Persephone was unusual in that she had two homes, one on top and one below, and no matter how much Hades asked, she wouldn't say whether Hadestown or the world above felt closer to home.
Hades himself was also unusual in that he had a steady home year-round; the Underworld was free of inclement weather, and his shades lived and worked for their keep. On occasion he'd welcome lucky mortals into the fold, and up top they scrambled for tickets whenever they were offered. A roof over one's head alone was well worth the price.
The closest thing Hermes had to a home was his bar up top, and with his schedule he could spend days away. While Orpheus lived in Hermes' spare room, he defined his home as being wherever the music took him, and in sunny weather he spent his nights slumbering under a tree.
Eurydice had never had a proper home before, and when she arrived, Orpheus was determined that she would stay with him, even if it was in the middle of nowhere.
By the time she realized Hadestown was hardly a home for the workers at all, it was too late to rescind the contract.
