"Divine Pantheon: Gods of Ancient Greece": "Hades, God of the Underworld"

Hades is the Greek god of the underworld and the ruler of the dead. He is one of the twelve Olympian gods, although he rarely leaves his dark realm. Hades is depicted as a stern, bearded man with a crown of darkness and a scepter, and he is often associated with the colors black and gold. In Greek mythology, he was the brother of Zeus and Poseidon and the husband of Persephone, whom he abducted and made his queen of the underworld. Hades was feared and respected by the ancient Greeks, who believed that he was responsible for judging the souls of the dead and punishing the wicked.
