When people heard about Pluto, they could know that it must have something to do with Hades. His English name of Pluto became the name of god of hell naturally.
Hades was the king of hell. At first, Zeus cooperated with Poseidon and Hades to get the whole world. Later, they arranged to distribute the rights. Zeus was the main character of the universe; he was the god of heaven. Then Poseidon was conferred with the god of the sea. As to the whole underground world, it belonged to Hades. Hades handled the death and the darkness. To the age of Rome, Hades was conferred with the god of wealth for the whole treasure was coming from the underground, his kingdom.
Though Hades made people feel that he was terrible and gloomy, yet he was a god of justice. He gave human beings fair justice and same treatment. He never acted wrongly out of personal considerations. As to personal morality, he was better that his brothers. He had only one wife and her name is Persephone, the beautiful daughter of Demeter and Zeus. There was only one chance of having extramarital relations and it was penetrated and restrained by Persephone. |
