Hades and his brothers ZEUS and POSEIDON defeated their father and
the TITANS to end their reign, claiming rulership over the cosmos. They
agreed to split their rule with Zeus becoming god of the skies, Poseidon god
of the sea and Hades god of the underworld.
He was later known to the Greeks as Plouton, which the ROMANS pluralized
to Pluto. The god of the underworld was married to PERSEPHONE, the
daughter of DEMETER, whom he obtained through deception after abducting
her to the underworld and giving her the forbidden fruit pomegranate, forcing
her to remain in the underworld with him for one third of each year.
