Best Answer

Sisyphus with his cleaver tongue was imagined to be favored by Hades who, even after trapping the death god Thanatos, had let him go back to the surface as his wife had refused him his death rites - by his own request. When he did die, Sisyphus was then made to roll a boulder up a steep hill over and over unending.

Orpheus was favored by Hades, who would have allowed him to take Eurydice back to the upper world; if Orpheus had only not looked back.

Heracles was assuredly favored by Hades in ancient Greek mythology.

These are the heroes that Hades is associated with having his favor, however it is the interpretation of the person who might determine who Hades respected or admired.
