Hades 2 - Melinoe Protagonist.png

Melinoe is the protagonist of Hades 2. It is not known to her what exactly happened to her family, only that it was Chronos who took everything from her. Now she's on a path of vengeance to slay the Titan.

Who are Melinoe's Parents?

Daughter of Hades and Persephone

Hades 2 - Melinoe Parents

Melinoe is the daughter of Hades and Persephone, making her the sister of Zagreus, the protagonist of the prequel game. Melinoe seemingly has never met neither her parents nor her brother. She has only ever had the Headmistress Hecate acting as her maternal figure and mentor.

How to Pronounce Melinoe

Pronounced “mel-EH-no-ee”

Melinoe is pronounced “mel-EH-no-ee” with the emphasis on the first syllable of her name. Her name is likely derived from the Greek word “mēlinos”, meaning “to have the color of quince” much similar to the color of melons.

Melinoe in Mythology

Bringer of Nightmares and Madness

In mythology, Melinoe is regarded as less of a goddess, and more of a nymph despite being the child of a god and goddess. She is thought to be a bringer of nightmare and madness.
