Hades

In Greek mythology, Hades refers to both the god of the underworld and the mythical place he rules. As the god, Hades is the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, and he presides over the realm of the dead, which is located beneath the earth. This underworld is often depicted as a dark, cold, and joyless place, guarded by the hellhound Cerberus and divided from the land of the living by a river. While Hades oversees the judgment and punishment of the wicked, he is generally portrayed as stern and unyielding, rarely emerging as a distinct personality from his shadowy domain. The realm of Hades was also associated with mineral wealth and fertility, and the god himself was sometimes referred to by euphemistic titles like Pluto, meaning "Wealth".123
