Hidden Depths | |
| Phone Home, Persephone! / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, also seems adept at technology when she invents the cell phone — initially to keep tabs on Persephone, though the other gods also buy some phones to communicate in the next few books. King di Minos, the Judge of the Underworld, also moonlights as a Supreme Chef. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Phone Home, Persephone! / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Hades undergoes this, due to the book changing Persephone from his captive, to a goddess running away from her overprotective mother, Demeter. Persephone ends up in the Underworld after sneaking aboard Hades' chariot, only for him to send her back to Demeter the next day. When he eventually takes Persephone to marry him, he (under Cupid's influence) at least asks P-Phone's permission first. | |

Supreme Chef | |
| Phone Home, Persephone! / int_6bccf2ba | comment |
Supreme Chef: King di Minos runs a successful pizzeria in the Underworld, and also caters Hades' and Persephone's wedding. When picky Persephone samples the appetizers, not even she can resist triple-dipping an asphodel chip into the pomegranate dip (this book's equivalent of the traditional myth's pomegranate seeds). | |
