Hades (2024)

Hades is the God of The Underworld and Persephone's husband.

In The Series[]

He has purple skin, black hair, and a dark purple robe, and he speaks in an effeminate English accent. Hades loves his wife dearly and spoils Cerberus, his "puppy". During the Titanomachy, he was to use his Helmet of Invisibility to steal the weapons in Cronus' armory. He returns in Season Two to personally escort Cronus to The Underworld and to be sentenced by King Minos; due to Cronus' cunning, Hades and Persephone are imprisoned in hourglasses until the heroes arrive. Persephone deliberately incites her husband, who breaks free and enters a brawl with Cronus. Cronus describes him as "the second son and a disappointment".

He has a temper problem similar to his wife Persephone which is shown in "Cronus Vanquished" when Persephone incites him causing his skin color and appearance to change to a more demonic look as a response to Persephone's supposed betrayal. Persephone later apologizes for her behavior saying that she had to "Bring out the worst" in her husband.

Mythology[]

Hades is the oldest male child of Cronus and Rhea. According to myth he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated The Titans and claimed rulership over the universe ruling the underworld, air, and sea, respectively; the solid earth, long the province of Gaia, was available to all three concurrently. Because of his association with the underworld, Hades is often interpreted by modern media as the Grim Reaper or even the Devil, even though he was not.
