Hades 2: All Confirmed Gods And Characters
Hecate, Witch of the Crossroads
If there is a character I could go on about the most on this list, it’s easily Hecate. She just rules, okay? And it’s not just because her character art is phenomenal.
As the goddess of magic, spells, the moon, the night, ghosts, and the crossroads–the path between the Underworld and the surface above–it’s no wonder she’s heavily associated with witchcraft. In fact, she is often seen as one of the most recurring figures across all mythologies and religions thanks to her identity as the “triple” or “triple-bodied” goddess, with her three forms being that of the mother, the maiden, and the crone.
As for her ties to the cast of Hades, Hecate was the one to assist Demeter on her search for her daughter, Persephone, following her abduction by Hades–though modern retellings, including Hades, make it seem like less of an abduction in the malicious sense we might perceive it to be. After Persephone and Demeter were reunited, she took on the role of Persephone’s guide as she journeyed back and forth between the Underworld and the surface.
