The Underground King: The Enchanting Story of God Hades // Greek Mythology

Hades is the god of the dead and the underworld in Greek mythology, and his name means "invisible."
Hades was the only god who did not live on Mount Olympus.
Perhaps he is the most feared of the gods, described as ruthless and terrifying by both Homer and Hesiod.
Hades is often depicted holding a two-pronged spear called a bident and accompanied by Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the underworld.
In Roman mythology, Hades was identified with the Etruscan god Aita and the Roman gods Dis Pater and Orcus. These gods were later merged under the name Pluto.
Pluto, also known as the god of wealth, is another name for Hades. The name "Pluto" means "the wealthy one" and refers to Hades as the god of the valuable minerals and riches found underground.

Why is Hades considered the most feared god, when Persephone his wife was way more feared than him?

[@ukiss4ever7]

Because she's the Goddess of Spring, while Hades is the God of the Underworld. It's his position that is feared by people.
