Hades



 
 

Hades was the brother of Zeus and the god of the underworld. The truth is that he was killed as a baby by his father Cronus (per Sanchoniathon).  He is shown with the three-headed dog, Cerberus, and is said to be the underworld husband of Persephone (he is not, Zeus took his identity after abducting Persephone).  Notice Hades has no children.
