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).

In an effort to forget his heinous deed against Pluto, the narrator began drinking even more heavily. His regret over maiming the cat held long enough for the animal to recover before he was once again driven to violence. “I had so much of my old heart left, as to be at first grieved by this evident dislike on the part of a creature which had once so loved me. But this feeling soon gave place to irritation” (671). The irritation in turn gave way to the bizarre desire to do something even more horrible,

In the Roman literature, it illustrated the myth that Pluto stole Proserpine’s innocence due to effects of cupid’s arrow sent by Venus. Through an analytical perspective, Ovid illustrated Venus as the goddess who too wanted the unification of the three cosmos for extension of power “why should hell lag behind? Why not there too extend your mother’s empire and your own?” (Met., p. 110) and being the goddess of sexuality and not having the power to tamper with the virginities of Pallas and Diana but Proserpine, she planned to “kill two birds with one stone” by summoning her son Cupid to shoot an arrow through Pluto’s heart “against his and shot the barbed shaft deep in Pluto’s heart” (Met., p. 111) to take away Proserpine’s virginity followed by her

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

Jupiter powerless to do anything decreed that Proserpina spend 1/3 of the year in the underworld with her new husband and the other 2/3 she was allowed to return to earth or Olympus. She would now be known as the goddess of the underworld. With this compromise Ceres restore to order the growing of crops and put an end to the famine and starvation. From the union of Proserpina and Pluto came Plutus the god of wealth.

Proserpina, the daughter of Ceres, was panicky. Despite the fact that she was clearly told by her mother to not go far into the forest, she went against her mother’s wishes and went exploring anyway. Proserpina was trembling with fear, her hands trembling like an anxious boy trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. She was running and tumbling over branches and tree roots until all of a sudden, she finds herself locking her eyes onto a beautiful and enticing little plant.

Damned to this land just as much as she was, Pluto’s return came as no shock. She just thought she had a few more days free of her husband, king, and tormentor. Not for the first time her anger for Jupiter burned in her heart, for surely he would have control over Pluto enough to force her release, but no the gods were powerless. Not for the first time, Proserpina wished she would have died slowly instead of eating those seeds prolonging her suffering.
