Protector of order: He is not evil, he just maintains the balance of the underworld.

The eternal and silent night.

Shadows, fog and imposing architecture (including the temples of Mictlán).

His spear is like an LED glowstick that sparks with fire. Personality: Firm, disciplined, and a bit arrogant, but always for the good of the cosmos. He loves to show off his combat prowess and knows how to motivate his "team" (the human warriors). Likes: The sun, training, military strategy, tacos al pastor (because we must always pay homage to the earth and its flavor). Dislikes: Laziness, betrayal, and people who don't respect the universe's schedule.

Ah, Hera, wife (and sister) of Zeus—yes, the Greeks were intense. In Unraveling History, Hera is seen as a towering, gorgeous goddess with dark brown hair, a golden crown, and a “I saw you, and I know what you did” look. Her blue and gold robes gleam with divine power and resentment.

Appearance: She's the goddess of royalty, and it shows. Always perfect, with impeccable posture and jewelry that screams "First Lady of Olympus." She has piercing eyes, a controlled smile, and that "I can destroy you, but with class" air.

Personality: Proud, intelligent, and with a patience that ran out centuries ago, Hera is the most powerful betrayed wife in history. She loves justice, but also revenge (especially against Zeus's lovers). She's the definition of "don't touch my lightning bolts, I'll explode."

Tastes: – Order, fidelity and weddings (except yours). – Peacock feathers. – Plans well executed. – The awkward silences when Zeus enters the room.

Dislikes: – The “special” mortals who attract their husbands. – Lies, half-truths, and Olympian excuses. – Let them think she is crazy (she only applies divine justice).

Hera is the queen of Olympus, the goddess who endures, rules, and collects emotional debts with grace. No one can match her in poise or fury.

And we close with Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and calm, who in Destripando la Historia is seen as a simple, red-haired, smiling girl wearing a soft fire-colored tunic, always near the fire of the hearth, literally.

Appearance: She has a warm beauty, not queenly or model-like, but one that embraces with a gaze. Her eyes are like calm embers, and her hair seems to burn in the sunlight. She wears no jewelry or weapons; only a burning flame and a great sense of serenity.

Personality: Peaceful, loving, the most focused of the group. While Zeus yells, Hera fights, and Poseidon creates tsunamis, Hestia meditates. She's the heart of Olympus, the one who keeps everything in order with a smile. She doesn't seek fame, only harmony.

Tastes: – The silence, the hot tea, and the good vibes. – Family peace. – The fire in the home and the cats (obviously). – Watching others eat what she cooks.

Dislikes: – The family drama (that is, his entire family). – The wars, the fights and the shouting. – May Zeus mention her in his speeches.

Hestia is the goddess no one fears, but everyone respects. She is the fire that never burns, the flame that gives life. The first to the altar and the last to leave.

Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, who literally invented the concept of "don't talk to me, I'm sad." In Unraveling History, she is depicted as a woman with wheat-blond hair, an olive-green tunic, and a "you can't eat without me" look.

Appearance: She has a maternal yet powerful air. Her hands always smell of flowers, freshly baked bread, and agricultural revenge. She wears crowns of wheat, wooden jewelry, and a warm smile that disappears as soon as you mention the name "Hades."

Personality: Protective, emotional, and a bit dramatic (I mean, her daughter was kidnapped). She can be the sweetest mother or the most dangerous goddess if you provoke her. She loves caring for the earth, but also controlling who eats and who doesn't. Her motto: "Without Persephone, there is no spring."

Tastes: – Family, food, and flowers. – The smell of wet earth. – Persephone (her favorite daughter, and only one, by the way). – Peasant festivals with wine and bread.

Dislikes: – The hellish kidnappings. – Winters (he causes them, in fact). – Lack of respect for nature.

Demeter is the soul of the countryside, the force of life. She can make the world bloom… or freeze it until her daughter is returned to her.

Brother number two, Poseidon, god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. In Unraveling History, he's seen as a handsome, bearded god with a "don't talk to me if you don't have an offering" face, turquoise hair that looks like it's made of waves, and muscles that can row him to the end of the world.

Appearance: Towering, tanned, with a blue-green beard redolent of sea salt and epic tragedies. He wears a crown of coral, a trident that glows with marine energy, and a tunic that seems made of moving water. Every step he takes literally leaves waves.

Personality: Impulsive, loud, and with zero filter. Poseidon is the brother who's always angry about something, whether it's because Zeus took over the sky or because Hades has less traffic than he does. But he's also passionate, protective, and has a big heart (even if he covers it up with tsunamis). If he gets excited, the Earth shakes; if he gets depressed, there are hurricanes.

Tastes: – Horses, tridents and racing on waves. – The mermaids (although they don’t like him so much). – Storms, boat parties, and rum. – Winning arguments against mortals (spoiler: he never listens to others).

Dislikes: – The drought (literal and emotional). – The insolent ships that cross without permission. – The gods of the sky (“oh Zeus and his drama”). – Compare him to Aquaman.

Poseidon is the god who arrives, slams the watery door, and steals the show. He may be rude, but when he calms the sea, even the whales sigh.

While Zeus is partying on Olympus, Hades lives in his luxurious cave down below in the Underworld, administering souls and complaining about the celestial noise. In Spoilers of History, Hades is that pale, elegant gentleman with a "I hate everything, but I look good doing it" look. He wears a black cape that looks like it's made of eyeshadow, jet-black hair that even the purest goth couldn't pull off, and blue eyes that scream "I've had enough of your nonsense, Zeus."

Appearance: A black suit, flowing cape, and a bearing that's both fearsome and classy. He has a trimmed beard, a serious expression, and a deep voice that could narrate documentaries or summon ghosts. If he had Instagram, it would be all photos with dark filters and existentialist quotes.

Personality: God-level sarcasm. Hades is the bitter brother, but also the most emotionally stable (which says a lot about this family). He doesn't crave attention, just peace... and stop blaming him for deaths, because he doesn't kill anyone, he just gets the package! Deep down, he's fair, wise, and surprisingly romantic (Persephone can confirm this).

Tastes: – The tranquility and silence (without Zeus shouting at him). – Persephone and her flowers of the underworld. – Good soul contracts. – The dark jokes.

Dislikes: – Unscheduled visits to the underworld. – The living. – They paint him as the bad guy when he’s just doing his job. – Poseidon calls him “sad cousin.”

Hades is that serious guy at family gatherings who doesn't talk much, but when he does, everyone falls silent. He's the soul of balance between death and eternity. And even though he lives surrounded by the dead, he has more life than many living people.

The boss of bosses, the patron saint of Olympus, the one whose sneezing will strike a bolt of lightning in the middle of Thessaly. Zeus, son of Cronus and Rhea, is the guy born with a boss complex and an ego so big that even the heavens are too big for him. He was crowned the top dog of the universe after dethroning his father—because nothing says "I love you, Dad" like shooting a bolt of lightning at his chest and locking him in Tartarus.

Appearance: Zeus is the stereotypical handsome Greek god: perfectly sculpted beard, long dark hair, intense gaze, and muscles that look like they're carved from Olympian marble. He always wears a white tunic with gold trim, and in his right hand, his trusty thunderbolt, a symbol that he can electrocute you just out of boredom.

Personality: Arrogant, charismatic, and with a tremendous flair for drama. He loves to command, but also to flirt, lie, and get into trouble that he later "solves" with more lightning bolts or illegitimate children. Sometimes he seems like a wise leader... and other times, a teenager with unlimited power. He has a somewhat strange sense of justice: he'll forgive the unforgivable if it suits him, but he'll split you in two if you contradict him.

Tastes: – Rule Olympus (obviously). – Banquets with nectar and ambrosia. – Turning into animals to flirt (yes, literally). – The sound of thunder, the smell of rain, and the applause when you win a war.

Dislikes: – Let them challenge him. – The infidelities… of others (yours don’t count). – The proud mortals. – Let Hera discover it in her “diplomatic adventures.”

Zeus is the god everyone fears and worships at the same time. If he existed today, he'd have his own tequila brand, a cloud-shaped private jet, and a list of lawsuits for divine harassment. But even with his flaws, without him there is no order, no lightning bolts, no mythology. Because in the end, Zeus isn't just the king of the gods: he's drama incarnate in the form of thunder.
