Underworld ยท Greece
Hades
The Greek ruler of the dead whose name also marks the underworld realm.
Legend File
Hades is not a devil figure but a solemn god of boundaries, wealth beneath the earth, and the dead who cannot return freely. His realm is a place of shadowed order, guarded gates, and irreversible crossings. In the Persephone cycle, his marriage binds death, fertility, and seasonal absence into one chthonic story.
Source Framing
Greek mythology and chthonic religion around Hades as both god/ruler of the dead and name of the underworld realm, with Persephone, Cerberus, and the Plouton/Pluto wealth epithet kept distinct from devil-like later readings.
