Hades is the Greek god of the dead and the king of the underworld, a realm to which all souls go after death. He was the eldest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea and a brother of Zeus and Poseidon. After the gods defeated the Titans, the three brothers drew lots to divide the cosmos, and Hades received the underworld as his domain. He is often depicted as a stern and passive ruler who ensures the dead remain in his realm, but he was not considered evil in the ancient Greek world Can be alter offering, used in spell work or worn
