Story 69: We Talk A Lot About Hades w/ Manasa (Camp Half-Pod)

"I just love Hades as a character."In antiquity, the wise refrained from even speaking the name of the god of the underworld to avoid drawing his attention. Today, Manasa (she/her) from Camp Half-Pod joins us to talk about Hades a whole lot! Talking points include the staying power of childhood favorites, translations of The Iliad, the chilling power of marble, and pinpointing exactly when SMITE lore became completely unhinged.
