Dialectical Journal Chapter 1-11

Hades is the Greek God and ruler of the Underworld. He is often associated with wealth and agriculture. He is also the son of Cronus and Rhea and the third most powerful Greek god. Unlike his two brothers, his realm cannot be seen by anyone living. The Greeks believe that his name, Hades, means “The Unseen One.” He is the only god that does not live on Mount Olympus; he has his own glittering palace made of pure gold and gems in the Underworld. The Greeks believe that when mortals

Hey! You! Yeah, you. You should go on a kamikaze mission so you can join the armies of the dead! Hades is the god of the dead, and he is in charge of The Underworld. In addition he is the keeper of the paths by which the dead come to him. Hades (sometimes called Pluto) was the oldest of three brothers, who were Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus. In this paper we will be hitting on the origin of Hades, the division of power between the three brothers, and what people thought of Hades as a deity overall (GreekMythology.com).

Things were looking dire from the second the ship left the hangar. Great, he's flying me to my death. Surely this was all part of his plan. Steal a ship, sneak out in the confusion of the attack, and rejoin his kind with whatever military secrets he managed to steal. Hades really did want to follow through with his earlier threat, but he doubted he could fly the ship by himself, and the emergency autopilot wouldn't be able to get him away from this mess, anyhow.

Zeus demanded Athena to come to the underworld with them and Hermes provided them with his winged sandals for any unexpected consequences. Zeus, Poseidon, and Athena crept through the underworld and stopped in their tracks when they heard a monstrous noise. It was Cronus, their vicious, arrogant and selfish father who couldn’t see anyone’s good. Hades stood still looking terrified and full of regret. “I’ve never thought I’d see you two together again brothers.” He spoke to Zeus and

Hades was only doing his job, According to Prezi.com, Hades never did anything wrong. He is supposed to be the “ruler of the underworld” and the only reason we consider him “evil” is because we associate him with the dead and death in general. In the myths, stories, and movies we have seen about Hades, they all consider him the bad guy just because he works in the underworld, with the dead, so people assume the he is mean. This explains that it

Poseidon scowls, irritation settling into the fine lines of his young face. "You didn't come here to tell me Zeus' dear wife has suddenly had a change in heart. What's really going on?" Hades didn't bother hiding his fierce amusement. Poseidon looks a tad ill at his expression. Delight flared

Did you know Hades married Persephone, Demeter’s only daughter, whom he kidnapped his queen. Hades parents were Cronus and Rhea. Cronus was a titan and was afraid of his own children over powering him so he ate all of them but one. But hades did over power his father with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon and that’s how he became ruler of the underworld. Hades had power over the dead. Hades symbols were Cerberus, his three headed dog that protected the underworld and the helmet which his was gave by a cyclops. The helmet could make anyone who wore it invisible.

If the distinction were more clouded, the audience feel uncomfortable about Hades’s

One of the two tricks that Hades played Persephone was that he put a rare flower in a far spot. Then Persephone picked the rare flower, the earth opened the gateway to the dark land of the dead. “As she stretched out her hand, the earth opened in front of her, and found herself caught in a stranger's arms.” I cited my evidence from the text. I read from the text and got evidence to support my answer. I rewrote the question. That is how I explain my answer. That is one of the tricks he played on Persephone. Persephone felt upset because Hades tricked her with a rare flower. Persephone felt very, very, very sad because she missed her mother. Persephone had played another trick on Persephone because when he said,“you can eat something before you

Hades, God of the Underworld, is tired of life in Regency England. To him, there's nothing more excruciating than a simpering young miss, giggling behind her fan. Greatcoats and cravats are hardly his favorite style (even though they look good on him), and nothing in London can shatter his boredom.

In an old story, he once took a liking to a woman named Persephone who was a daughter of Zeus and chose her as his wife out of force. The mother of Persephone was the goddess of harvest and when her daughter went missing, she forgot her duties and the world almost fell to ruin as she could stop child bearing and harvesting crops. Hades was able to able to trick Persephone into staying with him for a short time each year and the rest of the time she can be free to see her mother. The Greek did not want to know or even build temples for Hades as being associated with him would mean being dead, to Greeks death was bad because we are supposed to keep living one in a way where we are never forgotten. Hades underworld was a mix of limbo and hell, it is a place you can never see but there are three levels: the Astridel, then a torment dungeon named Tartarus (hell), then there were the islands of the blessings. In the Astridel, the souls of the living would wonder aimlessly until their judgement times where there was slight suffering in being nothing. The second level which was Tartarus was a level in the underworld where it was equivalent to hell in the Christian testaments as this is where all the suffering of souls that offended gods by disobeying the gods. In the Islands of the Blessing, this was heaven essentially, a place where no one had to work

In the reading from “The ‘Theology’ of the Mysteries,” in The Homer Hymn to Demeter Foley states how Demeter and Persephone create a new relationship between earth, Olympus, and Hades as a result of their deep engagement in human existence. The narration of the hymn seems to occur in both the divine and human spheres, bringing the gods and mortals together through the intersection of their experience that results in the Mysteries. Demeter and Persephone divinity becomes embedded with mortal struggles on the issues of marriage, sacrifice, death, and agriculture. After the abduction of Persephone, Demeter becomes consumed in her powerlessness and ignorance, characteristics of the human condition, and attempts to seek revenge while refusing to eat.

At first Hades just toyed with the idea of taking Zeus, simply thinking what greater revenge than that. But just like any revenge plot it will fester inside of you until you get revenge or find satisfaction elsewhere. It wasn’t long before Hades had a complex plan to make it back to Mount Olympus unnoticed.

He learned to like the underworld better than being with living people on Earth. One story has Achilles so upset about being in the underworld and had so much hate toward Hades that is said “I would rather be alive and toiling as serf to another man, one with no land and nothing much to live on, than be king over all the perished dead” (March 176). Another example of what the people thought of Hades was a Queen, Alcestis, and she claimed from her deathbed, “Someone is taking me away-don’t you see him?-taking me to the halls of the dead. It is Hades, staring at me from beneath his dark brow! What do you want? Leave me alone! Such as unhappy journey I must make, the most unhappy of women” (Freedman

What the hell did you just say to me?” “Bro, I said, where’s your five headed little chihuahua at?”. Now see, this is where I had royally fucked up. Hades picked me up and sent me flying across the poolside to some other table, with barely even lifting a finger. So as I see him stomping over to me i’m thinking, why not? If im gonna fuck up someone and everyone, might as well start with Hades.
