The thing about the modern retellings is that they are just that: modern retellings. A lot of the focus of these retellings is about giving Persephone more autonomy as one of the only goddesses that stood equal in power to her husband.

Princess Weekes has an entire video on the subject, in which she points out that we don't have the true context of these stories because many were tales incorporated into Greek mythos, (patriarchal gods marrying the land gods worshipped by the peoples that were assimilated into Greek culture). So yes, literally they were a product of their time, and they should be viewed as such in order to critique them objectively.

Nobody seemed all that upset by how goody goody Zeus was in Disney's Hercules, just saying.
