Hades was not the god of evil but rather one of the fairest gods in Greek mythology, who rarely cheated, lied, or interfered with mortals, and was known for keeping his word; he was the god of the dead (not death itself) and maintained the balance between life and death, with his reputation for fairness being overshadowed by fear of his underworld domain over time.

Why Hades Wasn’t EvilAdded:
Greek mythology lied to you about Hades.
Most people imagine him as the god of evil, a ruler of darkness and death.
Unlike Zeus, Hades rarely cheated, rarely lied, >> [music] >> and almost never interfered with mortals. While the other gods caused wars, [music] curses, and chaos, Hades simply ruled the underworld, maintaining the balance between life and death.
>> [music] >> He wasn't the god of death, was the god of the dead. There's a difference.
And unlike many Olympians, Hades was known for something unusual, keeping his word. In fact, some myths describe him as one of the fairest gods in Greek mythology, but because he ruled the underworld, people feared him. And over time, fear became evil.
