In my college Mythology 200 class we were taught that Hades is extremely misunderstood in todays age because we inherently âChristianizeâ 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. Thatâs 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 didnât ask for compliments, but Iâm 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, Iâm sure it was hard to have a meaningful conversation with anyone, especially when youâre 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. Thatâs how hard he worked, and how much he cared about this job.

Great đđťđđťđđť
Hades despite what we have seen in films wasnât 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 isnât much right because his name ÎδΡĎ/ĂĄdis > 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! Itâs 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:
ÎÎ´ÎˇĎ / Ădis > Hades
ΠΝοĎĎĎÎ˝ÎąĎ / PlĂštonas > Pluto
ΠΝοĎĎÎżĎ / plĂštos means wealth in Hellenic!
Meaning that they knew about the precious metals and gems beneath the Earth.
5:08
The famous avenue Champs ĂlysĂŠes in Paris was named after the âparadiseâ 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
ÎÎąĎĎΡδĎνι / 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 Godâs willâŚ
16:12
Orpheus and Eurydice
In Hellenic their names are
ÎĎĎÎÎąĎ / orfèas
ÎĎ

Orpheus and Eurydice were from ThraceđŹđˇ 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 didnât get exited, but got insecure and in doubt âcause he couldnât hear her behind him. He didnât hear her footsteps, rustling of her dress or didnât hear her breathe. So he started to be confused and in doubt if she was really behind him. Finally he couldnât 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 youâre 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:âwhere was she? was she really behind him as told? But why couldnât he hear her, feel her presence? What if she wasnât there? love this story very much.
If you think about; itâs almost an impossible task to do. Finally you get back the one you love so much, youâre so desperate longing for. But at your way out, youâre being asked not to look back. Whatever happen donât 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 donât hear your beloved one behind you. What will you think? How long can you resist? If I put a sign in my garden with âdonât walk on the grassâ, 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. Thatâs also human. The rising pressure and the relieve to see the end and losing it. How often people play suĂŻcide when everyone think the person was coming out of a depression. That he or she was doing better. Itâs that final last heavy burden to carry, a out of control statement. The last piece of a task is the most challenging one.
The Christianâs 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.
