The Origins of Hades
Beginnings
Hades was born of Cronos and Rhea, and like all of Cronos' other children, was swallowed as soon as he was born (this was because of a prophecy that stated that one of his sons would grow up to overthrow him). However, Hades' brother Zeus survived and managed to escape, later returning to free his brothers and sisters.
