Hades vs Pluto

Is Pluto the same as Hades? In myth, yes — Ovid's Pluto carries off Proserpine as the Hymn's Aidoneus carries off Persephone, and Virgil's underworld is ruled by "Pluto, Stygian King". In the name, no — Greek Hades is a name to avoid, Latin Pluto and Dis mean "the rich one", and Rome gave Dis Pater an altar and games no Greek city gave Hades.
