In the myths

In Hesiod, Hades is the eldest son of Cronus and Rhea. When he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon drew lots for the world, he won the underworld, the realm of the dead that came to bear his name.

He carried off Persephone, daughter of Demeter, to be his queen; because she ate a pomegranate seed there, she must return to him for part of every year. Grim and unbending, he rarely leaves his kingdom.
