Hades, God of the Underworld, ruled over Elysium, The Asphodel Meadows, Tartarus, & The Fields of Morning, the places souls were sent when they passed onto The Realm of the Dead. No one would be able to escape Hades’ judgment, with Sisyphus, Ixion, Ocnus, Tantalus & The Danaides undergoing some of his most renowned punishments.

To enter the Underworld, however, souls would first have to pay Charon's Obol, with those who did not have a coin placed under their tongue when buried, left to wander the shores of the River Styx for 100 years before they were allowed to cross. From Orpheus and Persephone to the Three Judges and Cerberus, this is the story of Hades and the Underworld.

In my college Mythology 200 class we were taught that Hades is extremely misunderstood in todays age because we inherently “Christianize” him and Greek mythology in general. No hades is not like the devil where he is constantly punishing souls and reeking havoc, he is just the overseer of where the souls reside. ALL souls go to the underworld no one goes to Olympus, it is not heaven or a sort of counterpart. Olympus is strictly for the gods. Hades was a mostly fair and just god as well. And he is also the god of wealth, riches, coining, and minerals which really makes him a well rounded god. That’s why he is one of my favorites

The story of Hades and Persephone is one of my absolute favorites in Greek mythology, mostly because of the resulting implications of the reason for the change of seasons. As well, in regard to myths involving Hades, the tale of Orpheus & Eurydice is beautiful in the idea that Hades is not completely cold and hard-hearted; that Hades actually does carry, even if limited, an amount of compassion.

Hades was a true working man. He took his duty very, very seriously. He didn’t ask for compliments, but I’m sure he appreciated them. He probably kidnapped Persephone because she was someone that he could relate to, and who he could have a meaningful conversation with. Being the god of the underworld, I’m sure it was hard to have a meaningful conversation with anyone, especially when you’re too busy to have time to venture to the surface. He kidnapped her out of loneliness and desperation, unlike his brothers, who routinely kidnapped and raped women, in a attempt to demonstrate their power in a very immature way. Hades was the brother that truly grew up and got a job, instead of partying 24/7. Some of the souls that entered the underworld enjoyed more benefits than even he did. That’s how hard he worked, and how much he cared about this job.

Great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hades despite what we have seen in films wasn’t a bad evil God! He was well respected in ancient Hellas but sometimes his name was avoided as you said, trying to avoid to caught his attention!

He had a pitchfork although in some other stories he had a helmet that made him invisible but that isn’t much right because his name Άδης/ádis > Hades means the one that cannot he seen. He was invisible anyway!

A small detail
3:25 Romans calling him Pluto

Actually, Pluto was another Hellenic name for Hades! It’s not a Roman/Latin term!
Even though Romans renamed the Hellenic pantheon when they adopted our Gods, they kept some names like Apollo and Pluto.

In Hellenic Hades was called either:
Άδης / Ádis > Hades
Πλούτωνας / Plùtonas > Pluto

Πλούτος / plùtos means wealth in Hellenic!
Meaning that they knew about the precious metals and gems beneath the Earth.

5:08
The famous avenue Champs Élysées in Paris was named after the “paradise” of ancient Hellenic religion! The fields of Elysium

11:40
As most of the Roman myths and stories, they were based in Hellenic mythology or Historical facts!

The story of Vergilius about Dido and Aeneas was inspired by the fact that Dido was the daughter of the King Myttos and she was inherited the throne. She went to Northern Africa with her brother Pygmalion and they founded the city called
Καρχηδόνα / Karxidòna > Carthage

Vergilius used this fact and the stories of Homer and he wrote that Aeneas after living Troy he went to Carthage. Dido fell in love with him but Zeus ordered Aeneas to leave and found a city (later called Rome) and Aeneas abandoned her.

Aeneid, the most important epic poem of the Roman culture was inspired and influenced by the works of Homer and the Hellenic mythology. Romans claimed ancestry from the Hellene hero Aeneas and the foundation of Rome was a God’s will…

16:12
Orpheus and Eurydice
In Hellenic their names are
Ορφέας / orfèas
Ευρυδίκη/ Evridíki
Orpheus and Eurydice were from Thrace🇬🇷 Orpheus was the son of the Muse Kalliòpi> Calliope. He was the first musician in Hellenic mythology. Even Apollo the God of music liked his playing that he gave him his Lyra!

Very good! Love your voice! Orpheus didn’t get exited, but got insecure and in doubt ‘cause he couldn’t hear her behind him. He didn’t hear her footsteps, rustling of her dress or didn’t hear her breathe. So he started to be confused and in doubt if she was really behind him. Finally he couldn’t bear it anymore and looked behind him and she looked at him in sorrow and despair and vanished backwards. This is a story about losing your trust, hopes, faith, impatient. He was the only mortal who was given a second change, Hades never had done that before. And that was the only rule to obey, do NOT look behind you until you’re back in the outside world. And nearly to the end he lost faith, trust, patient. The mind playing evil tricks and can make you paranoid. Along the way he started too fool himself:”where was she? was she really behind him as told? But why couldn’t he hear her, feel her presence? What if she wasn’t there? love this story very much.

If you think about; it’s almost an impossible task to do. Finally you get back the one you love so much, you’re so desperate longing for. But at your way out, you’re being asked not to look back. Whatever happen don’t look back in the past but stay focused on the future. And you have to walk that long route in a dark silent tunnel and you don’t hear your beloved one behind you. What will you think? How long can you resist? If I put a sign in my garden with “don’t walk on the grass”, what will happen? 85% will walk over my grass.

And the sad thing is; he started to see the light, the end of the tunnel. It was a matter of meters. That’s also human. The rising pressure and the relieve to see the end and losing it. How often people play suïcide when everyone think the person was coming out of a depression. That he or she was doing better. It’s that final last heavy burden to carry, a out of control statement. The last piece of a task is the most challenging one.

The Christian’s stole this story (as many Myths they stole). When Mozes went into the mountains to get the 10 rules. And his people started to be impatient, resistent, losing hope and faith. They made a golden calf and started to obey it as their God.
