Hades
Gods - Greek Mythology
Hades is the Greek god of the underworld, the kingdom of the dead, and in Roman mythology, he is called Pluto.
It is also called the god of wealth because it has all the precious metals on the planet.
It resides and governs the darkest place on earth, where the souls of the dead go.
Hades was disgusting, insensitive, monstrous, and few had the courage to pronounce his name. Thus, in Greek mythology he is considered the most feared of the gods.
Representation of Hades
Hades is portrayed as a dark-skinned, bearded man. It is adorned with a crown, and carries the key of the underworld and a scepter.
In his company walks a dog with three heads, the cerbero. This animal was meant to guard the entrance to the kingdom of the dead.
Usually Hades used a carriage to get around, and he is often portrayed in the chariot in the company of his wife Persephone.
Story
Hades is the son of Cronus, king of the Titans, and Reia. He had four more brothers: Poseidon, Zeus, Demeter, Hestia and Hera.
Kronos, their father and the youngest of the titans, devoured their children at birth, fearing to be dethroned.
With the victory of the children under Cronos, Hades had right to govern the underworld. Already their brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, were in possession of the sky and the sea, respectively.
So he was the only one who did not live on Mount Olympus, since he resided in a palace under the earth. Its symbol was a helmet made by Hephaestus whose ornament made it invisible.
The same helmet was used by Athena in a fight against Ares in the Trojan War. The battle is described in the Iliad.
According to the reports of the Odyssey, it was necessary to cross the ocean to reach the secret kingdom of Hades.
Children of Hades
The sons of Hades are:
Zagreu: god of the Orphic religion;
Macaria: goddess of blessed death;
Melinoe: goddess of ghosts, nightmares and madness.
According to Greek mythology, Zagreu is, in fact, son of Zeus, who raped the daughter while she slept.
There are, however, references to Zagreu as one of the sons of Hades, whose powers are linked to death and control of souls.
