Hades Creation

“Quick take these winged sandals and leave the underworld,” Poseidon ordered Hades as he tried defeating his brother Zeus and his father Cronus. “The wings of these sandals are wet, I don’t think they will help me fly out of here,” Hades explained. Poseidon called upon one of his dolphins and together both Hades and he left the underworld. This wasn’t the end. Hades moved an enormous boulder on top of the entrance to the underworld. In that way, no Olympians could ever get in and nor could Zeus and Cronus get out. Zeus was left in there just to be eaten by his father Cronus.

Hades appearance was said to be a tall dark figure. His facial features were very precise, and he had a full length beard. The beard was black. The underworld was described as a huge, never ending, dark land that had massive death rivers surrounding it. When entering through the “Gates of hades” you will be unfriendly greeted by Cerberus the 3 headed dog, and you will feel cold and lonely. Some say you're tortured, others describe it as loneliness.

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).

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

The underworld in Greek mythology was not a lively place, for it was where all the dead souls went. When a person died, the soul would be sent to Hades, a more formal name for the underworld. "The dead would go to Hades because there was no annihilation in the Greek mythology. The dead are dead because they have a flavorless and unhappy existence".

The mythological character and God, Zeus, is portrayed in many ways, by many different people. Hesiod describes Zeus as being relentless in his fury. When he gets mad he unleashes all of his power. If his brother Hades wasn’t in charge of the Underworld, he’d make all of Hell break loose. For example, in Hesiod’s Theogony, which is about when Zeus defeated his father, Cronus, he says, “Then Zeus did not hold back any longer, but now immediately his heart was filled with strength and he showed clearly all his force.” (Morford and Lenardon 85) He tends to treat others, mortals and immortals, very unfairly. Two mortals could do the same exact type of sacrilege towards him, and depending on how he felt that day, he would take two very different approaches to how he would treat them. He also doesn’t take any threats towards him very lightly at all. If anyone ever threatens him, he normally punishes them very severely, if he doesn’t destroy them completely. Hesiod’s approach to Zeus’ behavior is overdramatic, and makes it seem more extreme than it probably would’ve been.

Not only was he ruthless, but he didn't care for anybody other than himself. He had no emotions when it came to destroying anybody and/or anything. Hades has no boundaries when it comes to getting what he wants. Although he lacks physical strength, he tends to make up for it in his diligent planning, impressive manipulation, and threatening aura. Hades was mainly known for his murderously, hot, temper. However, he is fully aware of his temper, he tries his hardest to remain calm. The smallest aggravation can trigger his hot temper, causing firey fits and sever damage to people or surroundings he is around. Other than his hot temper, he has some powers and abilities. Immortality is his most valuable power. He also has the power of teleportation, summoning of creature, and control of fire and smoke. The one trait that he has that almost no other villain has is honesty. He always keeps his end of his deals with

In Greek mythology Hades is the god of the Underworld. He is part of the first olympians. He was in his father Cronus stomach until Zeus tricked him and freed his brothers and sisters. Once they were free they needed to wage war on Cronus, but they needed the backing and support from some other creatures to help fight the war. So the went to Tartarus the Greek equivalent of hell. When they were the set the Cyclopes free, in return the Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades all got magical items. Hades got a magical helmet that made him turn invisible. This would help in the war with Cronus and the Titans. Cronus was finally defeated when Hades got the jump on Cronus with his magic helmet and poseidon pinned him down with his trident. The Zeus gave the final blow with his lightning bolt to end it. (Parada)

Hades, also known as Aides and Aidoneus, was the son of Kronos and Rhea, and the youngest brother of Zeus and Poseidon. He was the ruler of the mythological subterranean region called the underworld, which was inhabited by the “shades” or spirits of the dead. It was also home to dethroned or exiled deities who had been overthrown by Zeus and his allies. Hades and his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, dethroned Kronos and the other Titans and then divided up earth among the three of them. Zeus reined the sky, Poseidon the sea and Hades ruled the underworld. The name “Hades” has been synonymously used for both the god of the underworld and the underworld itself. It is necessary to distinguish between Hades the location and Hades the god of the Underworld, the god of the dead. Hades comes from a Greek root meaning "unseen," "hidden," or "unknown." In Egypt, the equivalent of Hades is Amenti which means "hidden place" or "place of the hidden god," ; and in the roots of the word hell, had a sense of "hiding" or "concealing." Unlike the Christian concept of heaven and hell, which have separate locations, the Greek underworld was home to the souls of the virtuous and the damned, the good and the bad. In Hades the souls were separated in different sections or realms of the underworld, but all of the realms were apart of the same subterranean location. Individuals’ conduct on earth was the defining factor in deciding which realm they would be sent to; much like the judging of the

Hades, as stated before, is the ruler or king of the underworld. He watches and rules all mortals that souls have come to the underworld and keeps them in there. But, he was involved in something more important, The clash of the Olympians and Titans. He, along with his brothers and sisters. In the defeat of the titans, he returned to the underworld to gain rule over the souls of the dead.

One of which Perculus was the “acting” head god. There was concern about Hades and Zeus but not to the point of panicking.
