Be the disciplinarian with Hades


Today we will journey to the world after the living i.e. the underworld where Hades, the Greek God of Dead and riches resides, he was the chthonic god of the underworld so the underworld is also known by the same name as his i.e. Hades. Hades refers not only to the god but also his realm also has been named after him. Hades is regarded as the eldest son of the titans Cronus and Rhea, while being the eldest son but he came out last from his father’s stomach when he regurgitated his children. He and his brothers Poseidon and Zeus were the main reason for their father’s defeat and they divided their realms and Godly duties, Zeus being the one who caused their father’s regurgitation took the endless sky and air as his realm and became the Lord of Sky while Poseidon received the power of all the seas and water bodies so became the Lord of Seas and Hades received the underworld and being just below the Earth he became the richest god in terms of wealth as all the Gems and riches under the Earth belonged to him in addition to him being the king of a realm where all the dead souls of all the mortals come, hades can be considered as most powerful in terms of armies as he can raise the mortal souls as undead warriors so it is said that Hades had the largest army of the three. These three controlled the main and primary forces of nature so they were considered as the Trinity of the Greek gods, while solid Earth which is the Titan Gaea, their grandmother belonged to all three of them in the same way. Hades is often portrayed with his pet three-headed dog called Cerberus who is considered as his gatekeeper and guard and doesn’t let any of the dead escape from their fate. He has a bident which have only two points as compared to a trident and his signature weapon was the infamous Helm of Darkness which is said to render Hades invisible and shrouded in darkness or emit pure waves of fear which generally paralyzed all the enemies around him. Similar to other Olympians he also have a roman equivalent or aspect known as Pluto. He may simply represent your uncle or your father or a relative who is excruciatingly strict and doesn’t allow anyone in his family or under him may it be personally or professionally to flout the rules or go against his set rules and regulations and hands out punishment, he may be considered as a man with a bad personality but knows about good so Hades is similar to him so anytime you like the discipline he maintains anywhere appreciate it with a gift for Uncle in Pune or gift for relative in Pune and make them drop some of their strictness even for a short time, if there is any special occasion, then get him a cake with order online cake in Pune or sameday cake delivery in Pune and make him happy and see the sunny side of life.
If we talk about the origin of name Hades then it’s uncertain, but it shows his ability of being only seen after death as it may have a meaning as The Unseen One. The people were fearful of invoking his name as him being the God of Death, so it’s believed his Roman form got the name as Pluto, which shows his connection with all the precious minerals and metals under the Earth because it means Wealthy, he is also known as the giver of wealth as it was believed that all the precious metals which were unearthed were due to Hades giving them to humanity. He was also the stalker and lover of the Goddess Persephone and tried to obtain her through abduction but in the end Persephone due to eating an underworld fruit and after understanding Hades’ love happily agreed to become the queen of the underworld despite being a goddess of Springtime and vegetation.
