Exploring Hades: Greek God of the Underworld and His Attributes

Hades, also known as Pluto, is the Greek god of the Underworld, born to Kronos and Rhea. He is often depicted with symbols like the three-headed dog Cerberus, a helmet of invisibility, and a scepter, showcasing his dominion over the afterlife. The image I selected highlights Hades amidst dark clouds, a deviation from typical portrayals, emphasizing his formidable presence. Notably, he sits on a throne, commanding authority in his realm. This representation captures Hades’ true essence, contrasting the common perceptions of this misunderstood deity.

  2. Hades on a red-figure Apulian vase made in the 4th century BC Modern, Clash of the Titans Hades

  3. Pre 476 A.D Modern I choose this image because it shows Hades attributes and powers and is the complete opposite of what people usually depict Hades. In the picture Hades is surrounded by a black cloud with sparks shooting out which is usually not a power Hades has. Hades looks like someone did something to make him furious and to summon the dark cloud .Hades is also shown mid- air while looking down on someone or something. Therefore I choose this image because it was the opposite way the Greeks and Romans depicted Hades I choose this image because it shows where he usually is and some of his attributes that the Greeks and Romans gave him. .In the picture Hades is sitting on a chair surrounded by marble columns giving a command to someone which shows that he is the king of the underworld. Also Hades Is holding the scepter that also symbolizes Hades. I choose this picture because it showed Hade's attributes and the way Greeks and Romans depicted him.
