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. Now in a cave inside Mount Olympus itself Hades begins to refresh his memory of the great halls and castles, and finally tries to poison the food that was offered to the gods by humans. However, Zeus would soon find out after only barely tasting the wine and feeling slightly ill. Now that his plan was thwarted Hades flew into another rage and returned to the Underworld. Now days we still suffer from this simple argument that turned into something much greater. Hades out of rage has caused many pandemics and epidemics throughout the years including the Yellow Fever, the Black Plague, the Plague of Athens, Smallpox, and much more but most noticeably his most clever attempt yet and most recent

Long ago, in the ancient times, there lived the powerful gods of Olympus. They were ruled by the great god of the sky, Zeus. Zeus had two brothers, Poseidon and Hades. Hades dwelled in the underworld like a bear during hibernation, so he was never seen, but Poseidon was different.

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.
