god of dreams.
 Psyche entered the underworld once so she could pick up a
special jar of beauty ointment from Persephone to bring to
Aphrodite.
 One such mortal was Orpheus who wanted desperately to
save his wife from the underworld.

13.  He is the son of Kronus and Rhea
 His siblings are Zeus, Poseidon, Hestia, Hera and Demeter
He was strong, stern, unyielding, determined god and unmoved by prayers
and sacrifices.

15.  Once Hades was out among the mortals, and Eros knowing it was Zeus shot one
of his arrows dipped in Aphrodite’s love potion, which caused Hades to instantly
fall in love with the first person he saw.
 This person was Persephone, so while she was picking flowers Hades opened up
the very earth and abducted her.
 When Demeter realized that Persephone was missing, began an intensive search
for her daughter. Consumed by her grief and her sorrow Demeter, who
controlled the seasons refused to allow the crop to grow and mankind suffered.
 Zeus seeing this dilemma got the help of Hermes and asked him to retrieve
Persephone from the underworld.
 The thing was that Persephone could return unconditionally if she hadn’t eaten
anything. However when Hermes arrived he found that Persephone had eaten six
promegranate seeds so she had to return for 6 months every year, and during this
time Demeter gives bad weather to the world, the seasons known as fall and
winter.

16.  Persephone found out about Hades
having an affair with a beautiful
nymph known as Mintha.
Persephone simply found her and
stepped on her. Upon stepping her
she was turned into the plant, mint.

17.  In another instance Theseus and Pirithous traveled to the underworld
because Pirithous wanted deeply to abduct Persephone and take her for his
own wife but Hades thwarted their plan. He invited them to sit on the
Chair of Forgetfulness, which cause its occupant to forget everything.
Hercules rescued Theseus, but Hades held Pirithous there for trying to
steal his queen.

19.  Zeus was enamored with the daughter of Sisyphus. When Sisyphus found out he was
rather furious at Zeus and attacked him. Zeus, who hadn’t brought his thunderbolts, had to
flee. Zeus demanded that Hades find him and punish him.
 When Hades went to collect him, Sisyphus was able to trick Hades into handcuffing
himself. Sisyphus imprisoned him and daily walked Hades into his garden on a leash. Ares
finally, under threat of death to Sisyphus, freed Hades. Hades then took the man who had
him leashed for over a month to the underworld.
 Upon entering the underworld Sisyphus argued with Persephone that he could not enter
the underworld because not only was he not dead, but he had also not paid his toll to
Charon.
 Persephone being persuaded by Sisyphus allowed him to return to the mortal
realm, under the condition that he die tomorrow and bring a coin to pay Charon.
Sisyphus never planned on returning but the very next day he was visited by
Hermes who told him the Fates had decreed his death.
 Finally Hades had him and he couldn’t escaped and he meted out his
punishment. Hades decreed that Sisyphus would have to move a gigantic boulder up a
very steep hill only to have it drop back down again every time he reached the top. He was
to do this for all of eternity.
