=toc media type="custom" key="5639483"= = = this year at G.A.T.E in [|Arrowtown School] I am studying Greek Mythology  [|greek god] Hades here is some facts about him:

Hades had a seat on Mt Olympus but he did not live there. When the three sons of Cronos devided up the world Hades took the underworld. He was not the [|god] of death he was just the keeper of the underworld. The realm of the dead was split up into four parts:Tartarus, The House of Hades, the Fields of Elysain and the Elysain Islands, Hades was one of the three great gods, Zeus, Posiden and Hades. Guarding the underworld is a giant three headed dog called Cerberus. To get to the underworld you had to cross the river Stix, to do that you had to pay one Obolus [mony that the dead get given] to the ferry man Charon.
