Ranking My Top Favorite Companion Dialogue Lines
Warning: Major Hades spoilers.
Disclaimer: As of now, I’ve only tried the Companions for Sisyphus, Meg, and Than. I hope to get to Dusa, Skully, and Achilles/Patroclus soon. :)
10. "Meg!!" / "Am I interrupting something?" / "Megaera, again?"
I'm a sucker for anything with this trio. I don't feel this needs any further explanation.
9. "Meg!!" / "You are embarrassing me, Zag!" / "You're surely needed elsewhere, Megaera!"
There's so much to love here. Zag's shouting for Meg. Meg's embarrassed. Hades is like "wHAT are you doing here??" Ultimate chaos.
8. "Time to die!"
I love how Than's slightly annoyed with Meg, kind to Tisiphone, then just brutal with Alecto. "Time to die!" He sounds so excited.
7. "Don't make me do this, Zag."
To Tisiphone, because he's a good guy. Thank you, Than. I love you.
6. "Really, Zagreus?"
He is not pleased with us for calling on him during our big boss battle. Especially because, uh... that's his boss too. He sounds so done with us. I love it.
5. "King Theseus!" / "Why is Death on his side?!"
Because we're special to each other, Theseus. That's why.
4. Death!
Than and his one-word responses. I think it's the heat of Asphodel that keeps him from saying anything further.
3. Hydra!
I'm sorry. I still think this is funny. Yeah, Than. That is indeed a hydra.
2. "Bouldy!" / "Bouldy!"
I just love call-and-response dialogue in Hades. It's also said with such cheeriness.
1. "Don't you touch him!"
Look. Look. Hearing her say this is what made me explore all the rest of the Companion dialogue. This is everything I have ever wanted. Everything I have ever needed. The way she says it is so good.
In conclusion: I love these characters so much.

Thanatos: Just heading to the arena. We passed by Sisyphus’ chamber earlier; flipped us off. So that was a good way to start the morning-or-evening.
Hypnos: Yeah, but we totally flipped him off back.
Thanatos: I flipped him off back. You just waved and laughed cheerfully.
Hypnos: Look, I don't have your mutually-sustained hate boner for the guy, OK!
Thanatos: I don't have a hate boner for him.
Hypnos: Dude, it's a pretty hateful boner.

“one must imagine sisyphus happy” no, one must imagine him a stubborn asshole who thinks he’s smarter than everyone including the gods. i’ve heard plenty of versions where hades gives him the CHOICE to roll the boulder up the hill; it’s the only way he’s getting into elysium. if he wants to walk away, fine! he’ll just be relegated to the asphodel meadows (the “nosebleed/overflow” section of the underworld where all the normies end up).
and sisyphus, well, he’s a goddamn king. he cheated death! twice! a simple boulder is no match for his mighty wit.
hades’ punishment isn’t “you are forced to perform an unwinnable task forever”. it must fit sisyphus’ crimes. his hubris. any sane person, and quite a few insane ones, would spend a while pushing the boulder, maybe a few hours, maybe a few months, and eventually realize it was futile. an eternity in a peaceful meadow, not alone, not tortured, seems agreeable. but not to sisyphus. no, he’s too famous, too smart for that. he’ll get it to the top this time. this time. this time for sure.

I have a beautiful vision of Mel ending up in a pickle while trying to escape with an unconscious Zagreus and then a ragtag band of strangers turning up to help her get him out. A warrior from elysium with a spear, a guy with a giant boulder, a tree nymph and a minotaur are ready to pay their debts to the prince at all costs.

Sisyphus: You like ‘em dorky, don’t you, Prince Z?
Thanatos: …WHAT.
Sisyphus: I mean, who else but a dork would trust somebody they were sent to catch?
Sisyphus: “Hey, Mr. Death, I’m impressed by the quality of your chains, may I inspect them?” 😆
Zagreus: Awww, my dorky Than! 🥰 😚😚😚
