What role did hades play in the world of Olympians?
Hades, the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, was not himself considered an Olympian by the Ancient Greeks. However, being a major god, he played the role of the unlucky, distant god. Though dark and mysterious, he was not highly feared, though somewhat disliked after he kidnapped Persephone, the daughter of the Olympian goddess Demeter. Zeus was generally fair to his brother and did not dislike him. The way Hades originally got his role as god of the underworld was when the three major male gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades) drew lots after the defeat of Chronos, with the results being Zeus became ruler of the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the underworld, with the earth being left to the other gods. So, in short, Hades did not play much of a role and most of the myths involving drama in the Olympian world have more to do with Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo, ect. Despite this, Hades is a very important and interesting god. Good question.
