Annoying Younger Sibling: Zeus is portrayed as a wannabe wingman who is a little too interested that his brother Hades is finally pursuing a relationship.

 Punderworld (Webcomic) / int_1872821f
comment
Related Differently in the Adaptation: Many of the Greek gods in sexual relationships are no longer relatives, Hades and Demeter are never referred to as siblings or Persephone as his niece for instance. Though it seems the mortals in the comic believe the same myths as in the real world since Oedipus' shade asks Charon why incest is a crime for mortals when the gods supposedly do it so often.

Pinocchio Nose: Persephone has difficulty controlling the flowers which grow in her hair because they're tied to her emotional state and she's been kept so sheltered. The flowers fully blooming is a sign of romantic interest, and when Demeter sees this, she instantly recognizes it.

Unspoken Retort
 Punderworld (Webcomic) / int_29fb3af0
comment
Unspoken Retort: Demeter and Persephone are having an argument about attending Artemis's ascension as a goddess, with Persephone wanting to attend her party. Demeter at multiple points in the argument refers to it as "pointless frivolities", promoting such unspoken sarcasms from her daughter as, "Well, when she puts it like that...", And, "'Pointless frivolity'." Hades is wandering around invisible, trying to find a trap he knows Zeus left for Persephone as part of his ill-advised but "well-meaning " attempt to play wingman to his brother. He finds Persephone looking over a chariot with a Pegasus harnessed to it. He wants to warn Persephone, but doesn't want her to know he's there, so he keeps mentally responding to her assessments of the chariot with such unspoken retorts as, "Because it's obviously a trap!"

 Punderworld (Webcomic) / int_2b5ab7c1
comment
Analogy Backfire: Demeter says Persephone should be more like Artemis, whom she cites as someone who works hard and doesn't waste time on men. Persephone, however, thinks to herself that Artemis chose who she wanted to be and she prefers women anyway, so she's more "working hard to achieve her dreams" rather than "sacrificing personal desires for the greater good".

comment
Adaptational Consent: In some retellings of the myth, Hades kidnapped Persephone and essentially forced her to marry him against her will. Here it is pretty clear that the relationship is way more consensual, Persephone finding every reason to return to the Underworld or stall for time leaving it.

Accidental Misnaming: One of Persephone's gripes about how she and her mother are worshipped is that her name is virtually unknown in contrast to Demeter's; she brings up that mortals consistently refer to her as "Lady Kore" and complains it's equivalent to being called "Lady Girl".

My Beloved Smother: A given when Demeter is in your story. She is portrayed as a Control Freak who believes that she and Persephone, as Earth goddesses, are above attending parties with "lesser gods" and should not waste their valuable time on "idle frivolities." Since the only festival they ever go to (Thesmophoria) is for women only, it is implied that she does this to keep her away from boys.

Spiritual Antithesis
 Punderworld (Webcomic) / int_ce2969d8
comment
Spiritual Antithesis: To Lore Olympus. Both are comics featured Webtoons that retell the Taking of Persephone myth as a fully consensual romance between a Hades who is depicted as an awkward and somewhat dorky nice guy and a Persephone who chafes to be free of her overprotective mother's restrictive control. However, Lore Olympus updates the realm of the gods into a modern-day setting and freely reinterprets the personalities of various mythological figures, while Punderworld maintains the classical setting and mostly depicts the gods and other major figures more in line with popular interpretations.
