Hades

Hades was the god of the underworld. He had two brothers, Zeus and Poseidon. They divided the world between the three of them. Zeus got the heavens and was god of all gods and humans, Poseidon got the oceans, and Hades got the underworld. There are many things people don't know about Hades like what kind of god he was, who he really was, and how he stole his wife Persephone.

Hades is where the good the bad young and old journey and there are levels of Hades which is not like Hell. Hermes the messenger god is the one who shows the dead the way to the underworld. Also people gave Hades another name because they were afraid of his true name, his other name was Pluto. Pluto means enriched one he was given this name because he lives underground and that is where all of the enriched soil and nutrients are.
