Hades on the obsidian throne
In a vaulted hall cut from black volcanic glass, Hades sits enthroned beside Persephone, Cerberus crouched at the dais, ember-light from the Phlegethon flaring along the walls.

How to make Hades videos with AI
Hades is the elder brother of Zeus and Poseidon. After the Titanomachy the three brothers draw lots: Zeus takes the sky, Poseidon takes the sea, Hades takes the underworld. He rules the realm of the dead from a black-marble palace beyond the river Styx, with Cerberus at the gate and Persephone at his side six months of every year.
The cycle is one of the most-painted in Greek art and one of the least-touched in modern AI video. That changes here.
Hades is the lord of the underworld, the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, the keeper of Cerberus, the husband of Persephone. Morphic lets you direct the chthonic cycle in your browser. Pick a moment, a figure, or a workflow below and start now.

The abduction of Persephone
In the spring meadow at Enna, Hades rises from the earth in a black chariot drawn by four undead horses. Persephone drops her gathered narcissus, the flowers scattering in the trampled grass.

Charon ferries souls across the Styx
Charon poles the long boat across the dark Styx, hooded shades crowded at the rails, mist rising off the water, the gates of the underworld glowing dim on the far shore.

Cerberus guards the gates
Before the bronze gates of the underworld, Cerberus crouches with three heads raised, snake-tail lashing. Ember-light bloom from the gate-cracks, dust-streaked stone underfoot.

Orpheus pleads for Eurydice
In the throne room, Orpheus kneels before Hades and Persephone with the golden lyre across his knees. Eurydice waits in pale linen at the back of the hall, half in shadow.

Persephone returns to spring
At the threshold between the underworld and the surface, Persephone steps into spring sunlight. Demeter waits in wheat-gold robes, the dead earth flowering green beneath her bare feet.

The chthonic cycle splits into three story bodies. Body one: the geography. Five rivers ring the underworld: the Styx (oath), the Acheron (woe), the Cocytus (lamentation), the Phlegethon (fire), the Lethe (forgetfulness). Souls cross the Acheron in the boat of Charon for an obol coin paid by the living. Past the river, three judges (Minos, Rhadamanthus, Aeacus) decide the soulʼs path: Elysium for the heroic, Tartarus for the wicked, the Asphodel Meadows for the rest. Body two: the abduction of Persephone. Hades rises from the earth in a black chariot drawn by undead horses while Persephone gathers narcissus in the meadow at Enna. Demeter searches the world for her daughter, withers the harvest, brings the world to famine. Zeus brokers the bargain: Persephone returns half the year, becomes queen of the underworld the other half. Body three: the heroes who descend. Orpheus pleading for Eurydice with the lyre, Heracles fetching Cerberus, Theseus and Pirithous chained for trying to abduct Persephone, Aeneas guided by the Sibyl, Odysseus calling up the shades.
For video, anchor each Hades scene to one beat of these bodies. The visual library is unusually striking: ember-light from the Phlegethon, gray asphodel meadows under colorless skies, the dark surface of the Styx, the mist that rises from Cocytus, the gates of the underworld with Cerberus crouched between them, the throne room cut from obsidian where Hades and Persephone preside.
Lean into the medium-native styles. Cinematic photoreal in the spirit of dark fantasy film delivers the prestige underworld look. Painterly oil with chiaroscuro echoes the dramatic abduction scenes. Red-figure pottery iconography (Hades and Persephone enthroned, the abduction in the meadow at Enna) lands as stylized period homage. Name the style directly in the prompt.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I make Hades videos with AI?
You can create Hades scenes directly in your browser on Morphic. Open the Text to Video tool, describe the moment you want, and Morphic produces the clip. No installs and no specialist software needed.
What kinds of Hades scenes work best with AI video?
Single-shot moments from the chthonic cycle tend to work best: Hades enthroned beside Persephone, the abduction in the meadow at Enna, Charon poling across the Styx, Cerberus at the gates, Orpheus before the throne, Persephone returning to spring. Anchor each Hades scene to a specific underworld location, lighting, and mood.
How do I keep Hades consistent across scenes?
Use the Character Lineup workflow to lock Hadesʼ look once (charcoal-and-ember robes, helm of invisibility, bident, Cerberus at his heel), then reference that character card in every prompt. Morphic preserves the design across the cycle so a Hades series feels continuous.
How do I write a good prompt for a Hades scene?
Name the underworld location, the figure in frame, the lighting, and the camera direction. For example: "Hades on the obsidian throne beside Persephone, Cerberus crouched at the dais, ember-light from the Phlegethon flaring on black-glass walls, slow tracking dolly." The more specific your imagery, the closer the output matches your imagination.
Can I add narration and music to my Hades videos?
Yes. The Speech tool generates a voiceover from your script in the voice you choose, and the Music tool produces an original soundtrack to score the scene. Layer them onto your generated video to publish a complete Hades episode.
What visual style works best for a Hades video?
Three styles consistently land. Cinematic photoreal in the spirit of dark fantasy film delivers the prestige underworld look. Painterly oil with chiaroscuro echoes the dramatic abduction scenes. Red-figure pottery iconography lands as stylized period homage. Name the style directly in the prompt.
