History
Hades was the son of Cronus and Rhea and is one of their three sons, the others being Zeus and Poseidon. While they took the heavens and the seas, Hades took over the underworld. While Hades ruled the underworld, he was assisted by Thanatos, Hypnos, and even a three headed guard dog named Cerberus. Hades was also the god of wealth because of the riches mined in the earth. His wife was Persephone, whom he kidnapped from the heavens.
