She abandoned her divine duties, and the land became barren and infertile. The Olympians feared that her effect on the world would wipe out humanity entirely. So, Zeus sent god after god to beg Demeter to return to her duties. But, she refused. That caused a great deal of pain for Demeter. She searched the ends of the earth for her daughter. Eventually, Hecate informed her of Hades’ abduction. Helios, the all-seeing sun god, confirmed the events. That only enraged Demeter more. If you wanna know more, you will be pleased to hear that we offer several Greek Mythology Online Classes. The Underworld was a place where all human souls went after death. Contrary to popular belief, humans didn’t go the Greek equivalent of heaven. Elysian Fields, also known as Elysium, was for heroes like Perseus and Achilles.

Hades took to the role quite well. He resided in his kingdom and rarely left. Instead, he spent most of his time within the boundaries created by the Rivers Acheron, Styx, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Lethe.

And if you could just get The Fates to listen to what you have to say without interrupting what you have to say with a, "we know" than perhaps you could keep your cool. Still, Hades is the man for the job. He's got plenty of charm for a guy who hangs around the dead all day. Very little gets past him. He found out about Hercules when the chump was a simple sunspot. And if his minions had learned a little competency, perhaps he'd be the ruling leader as we speak. But no, his minions failed him, as minions often do.
