Hades

Name: Hades
Parents: Cronus, Rhea
God of: Underworld
Roman Name: Pluto
Also Known As: Ades, Aides, Aidoneus, Dis, Pluton, Orcus
Notes: Being with dead people doesn't improve one's disposition much. Although he was one of the major gods, Hades didn't even have a throne on Olympus. He spent most of his time in the Underworld.


Origin of Hades:
Cronus the Titan was told that one day, his son would overthrow him. In fear, he swallowed his children right after his wife Rhea gave birth. The five children were Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera and Hestia. Their younger brother, Zeus then rescued them from their father and they proceeded to take over the Titans and imprison them in the Underworld.
