About this listen

 When most people hear the name Hades, they imagine a dark and fearsome god ruling over the dead. Yet in Greek mythology, Hades is far more complex than the frightening figure often portrayed in modern stories. He was not the devil, nor a villain, but rather a powerful and necessary force in the balance of the cosmos. As ruler of the Underworld, Hades embodied inevitability: the truth that all living things must one day face death.
