HADES: THE GOD OF     THE UNDERWORLD
(GREEK MYTHOLOGY)
HADES IS THE GOD OF THE UNDER WORLD IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY. AND HE WAS GIVEN THIS POSITION AFTER THE OLYMPIANS DEFEATED THEIR FATHER CRONUS.AFTER THAT HADES AND HIS BROTHERS ZEUS AND 
POSEIDON RULED THE WORLD IN THREE PARTS. ZEUS BEING THE RULER  OF THE SKY,POSEIDON BEING THE RULER  OF THE OCEANS, AND HADES BEING THE RULER OF THE UNDERWORLD. AND THE UNDERWORLD WAS
 ALSO KNOWN AS HADES NAMED AFTER ITS RULER. AND THE UNDERWORLD IS BELIEVED TO BE DEEP DOWN IN THE EARTH AND ITS SURROUNDED BY FIVE RIVERS. FROM THESE RIVERS THE MOST FAMOUS IS THE 
RIVER STICKS AKA THE RIVER OF THE UNBREAKABLE OATH. AND AFTER YOU PAST THE RIVERS THERE IS GOING TO BE A DIAMOND GATE GUARDED BY THE THREE HEADED HOUND CALLED CERBERUS. AND DEEP DOWN IN 
THE UNDERWORLD THERE WAS A PALACE MADE OUT OF  PURE GOLD,SILVER AND DIAMOND THAT BELONGS TO HADES. AFTER DEATH SOULS WOULD BE LED BY HERMES TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE UNDERWORLD. AND
 IN THE ENTRANCE THERE IS GOING TO BE A FERRY THAT WOULD CARRY THE SOULS ACROSS THE RIVER ACHERON. AND THE FERRY WAS A BOATMEN CALLED CHARON BUT HE ONLY TAKES THE SOULS  ACROSS THE RIVER
 THAT CAN PAY HIM TO DO SO. FOR THE PAYMENT AFTER SOMEONE DIED BEFORE THEY WERE BURIED A COIN WAS PLACED ON TOP OF THERE LIPS. AND IF YOU CAN NOT PAY THE FERRY YOUR SOUL WILL BE STUCK 
BETWEEN THE UNDERWORLD AND THE REALM OF THE LIVING. AFTER THE SOULS CROSSED THE RIVER CERBERUS WILL LET THEM IN TO THE UNDERWORLD. THEN THE SOULS WILL BE JUDED BY THE THREE JUDGES 
RHADAMANATHUS, MINOS AND AKOS. WHO WOULD DECIDE THERE SENTECE BASED ON WHAT THEY DID WHEN THEY WERE ALIVED. THE ONECED THAT LIVED A GOOD LIFE WOULD BE SEND TO ELYSIUM FIELD AND THE
 OTHERS WERE SENTENCED TO BE  TORMENTED FOR ETERNITY. EVEN HADES WAS A OLYMPIAN HE DID NOT WENT TO MOUNT OLYPUS UNLESS THERE WHER GREAT DANGER OR GREAT CONCERN.BECAUSE  HE IS THE 
GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD THAT DOSE NOT MEAN THAT HE IS THE GOD OF DEATH. THE GOD OF DEATH WAS THANATOS. THE ANCIENT PEOPLE OF GREECE FEARED HADES SO MUCH THAT THEY NEVER EVEN SEAD HIS 
NAME BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT WILL KILL THEM. CUZ OF THAT HADES WAS NAMED PLUTO BY THE GREEKS.BUT HE WAS NOT THE MOST POWERFUL AMONG THE THREE BROTHERS. POSEIDON WAS THE SECOND 
MOST POWERFUL AND ZEUS BEING THE MOST POWERFUL. BUT AMOUNG THE THREE BROTHERS ONLY HADES WAS THE ONLY GOOD THAT DIDN’T HARMED THE MORTALS. AND THIS JUST SHOWS HADES WAS NOT AN 
EVIL GOD UNLIKE THE GODS.AND HADES IS ONE OF THE MISUNDERSTOOD GODS AMONG THE OLYMPIANS. COMPARIED TO OTHER GOD HADES IS THE MOST FAIR GOD IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY
