Hades
(as Minor as it gets) Demeter's/Hades' dad
In one of the latest conversations Hades and Zag are having, he is talking about Demeter, how she hated her dad, and how her dad was worse than Hades' dad (and even more dad-related drama).

The thing is... Demeter and Hades have the same father, Cronus.

That line didn't make much sense. Is it intended or just an omission? :/

Perhaps it is a reference to a more apocryphal legend, similar to how the Hymn to Zagreus takes a jab on certain ancient cults blurring the line between Zagreus and Dionysus.

I can't fully remember, but I think you or misremembering or not. But I think it was Demeter was saying her dad was worse than Zags dad (Hades)

Hades definitely said that later on. If I recall correctly, that was how his sentence ended. But in total, Hades said something like:

"She hates her dad, but her dad is worse than Hades', and Hades' dad is worse than Zagreus'. "

It doesn't really make much sense since they have the same father. Maybe it's a phrasing issue, or maybe SSG chose to go a different path for extra Freudian dramatic affect.

In any case, it's as minor as it gets. :/

Thank you. I hadn't noticed that part of the lore. :)

To be honest, I don't pay much attention to the conversations in the runs because I'm in a /too fast too furious/ mode and I want to finish fast.

But in the lobby, I take my time and relax listening to the lore and convs. xD
