Hades-Kyle O'Keefe
===For this wiki assignment, I am researching the all-powerful Hades, lord of the Underworld. He is one of the 'Big 3' gods, consisting of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. In some myths, they drew straws for who would get what. Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the sea, and Hades got the underworld. His luck has never improved since then. Some people use his name in vain in the Percy Jackson series, as in 'Holy Hades!' or something of the sort. There is a thermo-nuclear missile used by Pakistani forces called the HadeS Missile. (Yes, it is actually spelled that way.) No researchable stores or brands use his name or image. There should be a branch of government called the Hades Branch, because like Hades, the government is extremely wealthy but greedy at the same time.===

===Now, on to some more information. His main punishment is getting stuck with dead people forever. He was born of the Titans Kronos and Rhea, alike his 2 brothers. His symbol is his helm of darkness. His siblings are Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, Hera and Zeus. Hades is married to Persephone, goddess of springtime. His children are Macaria, goddess of fright, Zagreus, god of shadows, and Melinoe, the goddess of ghosts. If you want the full story, visit Oracle ThinkQuest.com. He is greedy, unpitying and terrible. He is good at sealing the Underworld of escape routes so the dead cannot make their way back into the land of the living. He is usually wearing his Helm of Darkness and robe, with a staff as a weapon. He lives with Persephone in the Underworld. Here are some pictures of Hades.===
