Quotes 

• Hades : Who comes uninvited to my kingdom?

  Orpheus : I am Orpheus, king of Thrace, son of Calliope.

  Hades : And what does King Orpheus seek from Hades?

  Orpheus : The soul now before you in judgement. Eurydice, my wife.

  Hades : No soul returns from my kingdom.

  Orpheus : Love is stronger than death.

  Hades : [laughs]  Nothing is stronger than death, little musician.

• Hades : Fear me. I am the bored audience at the theater. A knock on the door when you least expect it. I am the one whose name must not be spoken for fear I hear it and sit next to you. I am the pain in your arm at four in the morning, the headache that will not shift, the sour taste in your mouth of everything you ever did.

• Hades : Death is unimpressed.
