Hades is the brother of Zeus. After the overthow
of their Father Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and
Poseidon, another brother, for shares of the
world. He had the worst draw and was made lord
of the underworld, ruling over the dead. He is a
greedy god who is greatly concerned with
increasing his subjects. Those whose calling
increase the number of dead are seen favorably.
The Erinnyes are welcomed guests. He is
exceedingly disinclined to allow any of his
subjects leave.
He is also the god of wealth, due to the precious
metals mined from the earth. He has a helmet
that makes him invisable. He rarely leaves the
underworld. He is unpitying and terrible, but not
capricious. His wife is Persephone whom Hades
abducted. He is the King of the dead but, death
itself is another god, Thanatos.
