Hades

Lord of the dead, "strong Hades, pitiless in heart, who dwells under the earth", son of Cronus and Rhea. In the Iliad he won "the murky darkness" when the three brothers shook lots; the Cyclopes gave him his helmet. He carried off Persephone with Zeus's leave and kept her with a pomegranate seed; Cerberus guards his halls. Pausanias knew only one people, the Eleans, who worshipped him with a temple.
