Hades (Greek God of the Underworld)

Hades is the ancient Greek god of the Underworld, ruling over the realm of the dead. He is the eldest son of Cronus and Rhea and brother to Zeus and Poseidon. Unlike popular depictions, Hades is not evil but a necessary part of the cosmic order, overseeing the afterlife and guaranteeing the soul's journey after death. He is often depicted with his distinct helmet that renders him invisible. Hades also presides over riches underground like precious metals and fertility, symbolizing both death and rebirth. His domain is separate from the world of the living, emphasizing his role as keeper of the dead.
