Ruler of the myriad rivers (river of lamentation, river of hate, etc.)

3 In Greek mythology, Hades the god of the underworld, was a son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. He had three sisters, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera, as well as two brothers, Zeus, the youngest of the three, and Poseidon, collectively comprising the original six Olympian gods.

4 All ancient Greek gods had attributes, animals, mode of transportation or weapons which were iconic symbols of their power. Hades' were his chariot, drawn by four black horses, the Narcissus and Cypress plants, the Key of Hades and Cerberus, the three-headed dog as well as his ebony throne.

5 nstead, they decided to give him another name, Plouton, deriving from the Greek word for wealth, due to the precious metals mined from the earth. Thus, Hades alsobecame the god of wealth. Although an Olympian, Hades preferred the Underworld and rarely left his kingdom.
