Episode 11: Unsupervised
After Hades drops Persephone off in Olympus, Artemis freaks out about losing Persephone at the party, and is concerned about Hades touching her. Persephone assures her that nothing happened while mentally thinking of the 7 times they actually had touched.
“Phew! Those kings will screw anything with a heartbeat! You’re lucky.” -Artemis, Ep. 11
Artemis is relieved and tells her she is lucky nothing else happened, because “those kings will screw anything with a heartbeat.” She asks where Persephone got the fur coat, and is dubious upon learning Hades gave it to her. Artemis sighs and says they shouldn’t tell Persephone’s mother about any of this. She then helps Persephone cut her hair, which turns to flower petals as soon as it’s cut.
Artemis gives Persephone an old, cracked cell phone, so that she can message her if she needs help. It is the first cell phone Persephone ever has. They take a photo together, and the episode ends with Eros ringing the doorbell.

In Episode 180 of Lore Olympus, the trial reveals that the young goddess Persephone had plans to utilize her powers to create “something new” that would be “rewarding” for “exceptional” mortals in the afterlife. We surmise this alludes to the mythic Elysium, and break down some of what we know from history and literature.
