Hades in Ancient Greece
Hades, in ancient Greek mythology, is the god of the underworld, the realm of the dead. He is one of the three major Olympian gods, alongside his brothers Zeus, the king of the gods, and Poseidon, the god of the sea. Hades is often portrayed as a stern and unyielding figure, ruling over the dead with fairness but inevitability. He is not inherently evil, but rather maintains the balance of life and death. His domain is also called Hades, a place where souls go after death. Key symbols associated with Hades include the Helm of Darkness, which grants invisibility, and Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the entrance to the underworld. Despite his grim role, Hades plays a crucial part in maintaining the natural order in Greek mythology stories.
