The Ruler Of The Underworld And The Lord Of The Dead

Improved Essays
Ruler of the Underworld and the Lord of the Dead, Hades stands out next to the other Gods and Goddess. Even though he controls the the souls of the dead, which sounds dark and evil, Hades does not cause the deaths like the Grim Reaper. Instead, this god takes care of the souls, and makes sure that they do not go back to the world of the living. Although Hades is one of the “Big Three Gods”, not many people appreciates what he has done to the world. When the Gods battled against the Titans, Hades used his magical helmet and destroyed the Titans’ weapon, helping his brothers defeat the Titans and saving the Earth.

If I ever had the chance to meet Hades, I would ask him what is it like to be portrayed as a villain? I know that he saved the Earth
