Hades was an Isu, revered as the Greek god of the underworld. He was the brother of Poseidon, the spouse of Persephone and the son-in-law of Demeter.

Biography
Mythology
According to the mythology, Hades abducted Persephone, Demeter's daughter, and took her to his realm because he wanted to marry her.[1]
Simulation
In a simulation created by fellow Isu Aletheia, Hades was the ruler of Tartaros, an aspect of the underworld in Greek mythology.[2] Although married to Persephone, the two had a shaky relationship and he imprisoned her in Elysium, letting her rule the realm with her friend Hekate.[3]
Legacy and Influence
Given his nature, Hades was rarely celebrated, or built temples for. However, a temple was dedicated to him in Elis City in Elis during the 5th century BCE.[1]
Eventually, his name came to also signify the underworld itself. The Cerberus is regarded as Hades' hound, and when the god was depicted, Cerberus was there, too. In Messenia, a bay was dedicated to the god.[1]
Trivia
- According to the myths, the Titan Kronos devoured every child he begat with his sister-wife Rhea. When Zeus saved his siblings, they accompanied him as the new gods, and became part of the twelve mightiest. In order from oldest to youngest, the children were Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon before Zeus.
