This puts his discussions with Zagreus in a new light, as it's clear he can't fathom WHY Hades hasn't contacted him or even that he, Zeus, could have done something to make him mad. While Hades had an interest in the daughter of the goddess Demeter, he never asked for his brother's help in getting her attention, much less kidnapping her and he certainly didn't see her as a "gift" that could be given away like an object.
