Hades Statue

Hades, the Greek god of the underworld, ruled the realm of the dead with unwavering authority. Son of Cronos and brother to Zeus and Poseidon, he was swallowed at birth by his father—an act meant to prevent a prophecy that he would rise to power. When the Olympians overthrew Cronos, Hades claimed dominion over the shadowy depths beneath the earth.

Often misunderstood and feared, Hades was not a god of evil, but of solemn duty. He presided over funeral rites, defended the sanctity of burial, and maintained balance between life and death. Though mortals seldom dared speak his name, his presence loomed large in myth and mystery. He ruled quietly, sternly, and justly—ensuring no soul escaped, and no trespass went unpunished. Despite his grim domain, Hades remained a guardian of order, wealth, and the sacred stillness of the afterlife.
