Your Guide To The Greek Gods
Hades

The Romans called him: Pluto

Not to be confused with: Disney's cartoon dog

Rank: God of the Underworld

Played by: Steve Coogan (Percy); Ralph Fiennes (Clash)

Hades creeped people out, what with that whole god-of-the-underworld thing, which is a shame as he's slightly more stable than his siblings and often tried to maintain a balance when they start wigging out. That said, abducting the beautiful Persephone to become his wife was not cool, dude, not cool - especially since the mourning of her mother, earth goddess Demeter, during her daughter's yearly visit to the underworld led to the creation of winter. Expect him to hang on the dodgy side of the plot in this year's films - but not to be an outright, pantomime villain.
