He isn't. Strictly speaking, as far as gods go, he's among the best.

[Kaneki05]

Not really, but also yes. Since all the greek gods were kinda dicks though Zeus was by far the most dickish along with Poseidon, then Athena etc.
I would say Hades is more the chilled one compared to the rest. So overall no.

[NathanDavis]

well, he lead the crusades against Kido Saori... I am not forgiving that...

[purplepoppy]

Originally not evil because the Greeks believed everyone went to the underworld. It wasn't a punishment. It's not until later when we started to associate downstairs with hell that the evil link arose

[Snsl153]

'Hades' isn't a god, but the name for the underworld in Greek pagan mythology.

[Twalli]

It's also the name of the god that rules there

[SoftCliff]

Yes and no

Hades wasn't the cackling villain that Disney made him out to be, but neither was he the sweet innocent puppy boi that half the internet seems to want him to be.

Hades has the most epithets of any Greek god because the Greeks considered it ill-fortune to simply speak his name. Temples to him were dedicated anonymously as death worship was considered taboo.

In the myth Hades rarely gets involved in mortal matters, not because he's morally better than the rest of the pantheon, but because all mortals come to him in the end. He doesn't need to lash out at mortals the instant one wrongs him because he can afford to wait. But the few times he does get involved he proves himself to be just as cruel, petty and indiscriminate as his siblings. I mean he did kidnap Persephone and forced her to be his wife

[Twalli]

There's actually a lot of evidence to suggest there were stories of a queen of the underworld before there were of Hades. Also there's some evidence that Persephone was anything but an unwilling victim. Yet she is the goddess of spring, so you know she can't be in the underworld all year long.

[Guy13]

The God of Hell.. as in the actual ruler and manger of Hell is not Evil

[strateguy632]

evil and cruel

[laly520]

not really

just stern n unyielding

[landingout2]

he is a fallen angel

[Twalli]

He's a god

[landingout2]

thats why Jesus kicked his ass
and took the keys from him

[Twalli]

He's the God of the underworld where every soul goes upon death

[landingout2]

yes and Jesus Christ went to the under world
and kicked his ass

did you not read the bible

[Twalli]

Hades wasn't in the bible

[landingout2]

Revelation 20

Then DEATH and HADES were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

for they had the keys of life and death for the human race
AND JESUS CHRIST BEAT THEIR ASS

AND TOOK IT BACK FROM THEM
stop talking idiot

you sound stupid

[Twalli]

So they used Hades but not Thantos? So the god of the underworld, but not the god of death? It makes me question the validity of that, as also regardless if he was beaten or not he's still A GOD. Nothing devalues him as a a god.
