| GOD OF THE DEAD | ||||||||||||||||
| The brother of Zeus, Hades drew the Underworld as his rule when the Titans were overthrown and banished to Tartarus. He sat on an ebony throne and wore a helmet that made him invisible. There he ruled the dead and accepted those newly arrived from above. Hermes brought the souls of the dead to the River Styx where Charon, the ferryman, carried them across. The three-headed watch-dog, Cerberus, provented any escape. He was the richest of the Gods, possesing all the mineral weath of the Earth. |
