Likely the most foreboding character in ancient Greek mythology, Hades and the Underworld over which he reigned was an important, frightening, and fascinating element in both ancient Greek myth and Greek society. Eldest brother of the powerful gods of Poseidon and Zeus, Hades was something of a mysterious figure, spending most of his time in the Underworld instead of on Olympus with the other gods. In this text we investigate the creation and ascension of Hades to Lord of The Underworld, including his roles in Greek society and his use in oral/written myth.
