Why hades called the god of death?
Hades is MISTAKENLY called the God of Death, when Kronos died
his kingdom was split into four parts: The Sky, The Oceans and
Seas, The Earth and The Underworld. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades
challenged each other for who should rule which part. Zeus won and
chose the sky, Poseidon came second and chose the seas, and Hades
was left with the Underworld. The earth was then left for the
goddesses to tend.
The Underworld is where the living go when they die. Because
Hades rules the underworld he is referred to as the God of the
Dead, However, in actual fact it is Thanatos who is the God of
Death and NOT Hades
