Hades is the god of the underworld because when the universe needed to be divided between the three gods, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. They divided the sky, the sea, and the underworld. Zeus got to pick first because he is the one who killed Cronus, their father, in order to free his other siblings. Zeus chose the sky, Posedion then got to chose next. Posedion chose the sea. Now, that left the Underworld for Hades.
