Statue of Hades with Cerberus in Elis City

Hades is the Greek god of the underworld and the brother of Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter. His Roman counterpart is Pluto, and Etruscan counterpart is Aita.

Eventually, his name came to signify also the underworld itself.

Cerberus is regarded as Hades' hound, and when the god was depicted, Cerberus was there, too.

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.

In Messenia, a bay was dedicated to the god.
