Ask the undead where to draw lots
The story of the Twelve Olympians began to be written as early as the 6th century. Of these twelve gods, ten will definitely appear, namely Zeus, Sheila, Poseidon, Ares, Hermes, hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo and themis. Hestia was originally one of the twelve main gods, but in order to live with mortals, she gave the position of the main god to Dionysus; Demeter has lived in the underworld with her daughter Persephone for half a year, and she will give up the position of God to Hades.
The reason why the God of Olympus won the transcendental position among the gods lies in the joint efforts of Zeus and his brothers and sisters to defeat the Titan. Among the twelve gods, Zeus and his brothers and sisters Sheila, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia and Hades occupy almost half of the positions. Most other gods are children of Zeus and other goddesses, except Athena, who grew from Zeus' head, and hephaestus, who was born by Sheila alone, but they are also their children.
Hades (Greek:? δη? [1], also translated as Hades, Hades, Hei Di) is a ghost in ancient Greek mythology, corresponding to Pluto (Latin: PLT not) in Roman mythology. He is the son of Cronus and Rhea and the brother of Zeus. His wife is Persephone, the daughter of his sister Demeter.
The view of death in Greek mythology does not exist in heaven and hell where there is a judgment of good and evil, but that the underworld is the only place for all the dead, so the image of hades in mythology is cold, but it does not have the color of evil gods in most religious myths. The image of Hades in ancient Greek mythology is also a typical heroic man on Olympus (but Hades has an irresistible smell), and because the mythical underworld is underground, Hades is also regarded as the dominator of underground minerals.

Kronos (κ rho? νο? ) For fear that his son would overthrow him, he took his wife Rhea (? ε? α) All the children swallowed their stomachs, and Hades came fourth, the eldest son. [2]
When Zeus (ζ ε) used emetic to make kronos vomit all the children, Hades was better than Poseidon (∈οιε δ? (Argument) also slowed down and became Zeus' younger brother. [3]
Then cyclops (κ? κλωπε? ) Help Hades make an invisible helmet. η) When Titan was knocked down and Poseidon drew lots to allocate the ruling area, Hades drew lots to manage hell for ghosts and gods. [4] He usually sits in a chariot with four dark horses and holds a two-pronged halberd. He will clear any obstacles ahead. If he walks into the Yang world, it must be to lead the victim's soul to hades, or to check whether the sun shines through a gap in the ground.
Hades handled the affairs of the underworld in an orderly way; He is handsome and likes the dark, but he is impartial and an awesome god.
Here, I want to be clear: Hades is a "guardian of the underworld", not a "death" or a "judge" of the underworld; Death is Thanatos, and his brother is Hipnas, the god of sleep. There are three judges, namely Mions, Rhadamanthus and Aeacus. Moreover, Pluto is also relatively low-key and has little interest in power, except for Persephone (Roman name: Bethel), the goddess of spring robbery.
In Homer's epic, he personally guards the underworld. Hercules wants to enter the underworld. He was standing at the entrance, injured by Hercules, and had to go to Olympus for treatment. In Rome, he was confused with the ancient Italian gods of death and hades Orcus and Edith. In his works of art, his image is a strong adult man sitting on a throne, holding two forks or scepters, with three dogs Cerberus lying at his feet, and sometimes Persephone standing next to him.
Hades is also the name of Hades in Greek mythology, sometimes referring to Tal talos (Orcus in Roman mythology). According to the oldest myth, it is located in the west, on the other side of Anoos in Yinghai, where ghosts live, while Tar talos is used to imprison the overthrown Titan and is guarded by centimani. Monsters like Hekate and Erinis also live here. According to the most popular myth, Hermes sent ghosts to the banks of Styx through the entrance of Lacny and other places, and Ka Rong crossed them by boat. The three-headed dog Kobros stood at the entrance, not stopping anyone from entering, but not allowing anyone to come out.
Legend has it that only a few heroes, such as orpheus, Hercules, Odysseus and Aeneas, entered the underworld and returned to the world alive. Minos, Arcos and Radamantis are three judges in the underworld, and the souls of the dead will be judged by them. North's daughter, Wang Da and Argos, was sentenced for killing her husband and kept pouring water into the bottomless jar of hades. Xixi Dazhong and Tan Talas were also sentenced there for their crimes. There is a river of forgetfulness, which can make ghosts forget the lives of Shi Yang and Shi Yang.
Favorite black, favorite sacrifice is black ewe or black bull wrapped in black gauze. Poplar is his sacred tree.
In Sicily, Persephone (∏ ε ρ σ ε φ? ν η) forcibly brought back to the underworld [5]. Later Zeus ordered Hades to hand over Persephone, but Hades first gave her pomegranate fruit, the food of the underworld, so Zeus let Persephone spend one-third of the year with Hades. [6]
During the Elf War, he lent his invisible helmet to Hermes. ρ μ) Knock down Hippolytus (? ππ? λυτο? )。 [7]
Philadelphia (φ ε ρ α? ) King Yad Metos (? δμητο? ) Should have died, but his wife Axtis (? λκηστι? ) voluntarily died for her husband, so the soul was taken to the underworld by death, thanks to Hercules (? ρ α κ λ) volunteered to challenge Hades in the underworld, and Hades was defeated and returned Axeti's soul. [8]
[edit] jurisdiction
In Hades' huge palace, there are three judges, Minos, Radaman Toth and Arcaz, who are responsible for listening to the thoughts, words and actions of the soul. Hermes, the goddess of justice, holds a sword and weighs good and evil for every soul. If good is greater than evil, she will go to heaven, otherwise she will go to hell. Those who commit heinous crimes will be exiled to "endless hell" and suffer endless pain and suffering forever.
There is a door between hell and the dead, which is the "Gate of Hell". This gate is located near Cape Tanas and is guarded by a three-headed Cerberus named Cerberus. Once anyone enters the gate of hell, he will never go back to death.
There is a long way from the gate of hell to the bottom of hell, and there are often illusory ghosts coming and going on the road. There are many rivers in hell, one of which is called Kokut River, which is formed by the tears of bad people forced to work in hell, so it often makes a terrible wail, because the name of this river itself means "crying in the distance". Another river, the Clone River, is the only way for those who try. The water in this river is black and flows fast, so no one can swim across it. A boatman named Ka Rong ferries here. He can only cross the river by his boat, but he will ask for a dollar's fare, otherwise he refuses to take the boat. If those waiting for trial have no money, they must wait for a year, when Caron will take the ferry for free. So when Greeks die, they usually put a dollar in the mouth of the deceased.
[Editor] Introduction to Hades
After death, Hermes, the guiding god, brought their souls from the darkness of Erebus to the underworld. Here, a big black river, Akron River, is surging. The river blocked the way forward, and only Ka Rong, a bearded boatman, could ferry the dead to the other side. However, the undead must pay a certain fee to get on the boat, otherwise they will wander on the painful river and find no home.
After crossing the river is a vast gray plain, known as the pastoral of truth. There are two roads connecting here, which lead to Elysee Paradise, a land of happiness, and Hell, a land of pain. The dead are judged by three judges of the underworld in the judgment seat in front of the Garden of Truth. Guilty people will be punished in hell according to their crimes, while innocent people will be able to live a happy life in the beautiful and peaceful Elysee paradise.
Between heaven and hell in the Elysee Palace, there is a magnificent palace, which is the residence of Hades and Persephone.
The dark underworld is ruled by Hades, whose name comes from the negative prefix "a" and the verb "look", which leads to a mysterious meaning: he is invisible; His name is also Pluto, which comes from the word "rich".
In mythology, Hades is a terrible and heartless god who often gives out sinister laughter. Death Danados is the son of the night god. He likes wearing a black cloak and holding a deadly sword. It's terrible to walk in a crowd's house at night. Hugh Punos, the sleeping god, is depicted as a winged god. When he beats his wand or beats his black wings, people will fall asleep. He was stronger than the gods, and even Zeus could not escape his magic.
In Homer's imagination, the underworld is behind the door of Persephone Garden. There are poplars and bare coconut trees. Before reaching the kingdom of hell, you must go through this terrible forest. There is a dog named Cerberus at the entrance to the Palace of Death. It has three heads and a bronze voice. The Agron River, which flows through the underworld, is a river of suffering, which stems from its word meaning "torture". If you want to cross the Styx, you must show your own silver coin to the ferryman Caron, otherwise, he will rudely drive away the invaders. So ghosts can only wander on the other side of the desolate death, where they will never find a place to live. Therefore, the Greeks put a silver coin in the mouth of the deceased.
The hosts of the underworld court are Axe, Minos and Radar Mantis. The last two are the sons of Zeus and Europa. Minos was the king of Crete, and his reign was just and strict. Homer's epic "Odyssey" describes the scene in which he sentenced a ghost with a golden scepter in his hand. Radaman once ruled KiClardy. Arcaz, the son of Zeus and Egina, was famous for his love of justice, and the gods elected him as an arbitrator. When the souls of the dead are put on trial, they are sent to the prison in Tartalas, or they are introduced to heaven and Elysium Island.
