underworld
Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus divided up what they would rule, the Underworld, the Seas, or the Heavens - holding the Earth in common to all.
Because the 'Big Three' (Zeus posiedon and hades, sons of kronos, the lord of time), divided the world into 3 parts that they would rule. The sea, the sky, and the underworld. Hades got the underworld.
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.
yes they divided the world into three the underworld, the sea, and the air
When the world was divided, Zeus got the land, Poseidon got the sea, and Hades got the underworld; therefore he did not live on Olympus because he had to watch over and rule the underworld.
Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the water, and Hades got the underworld.
Persephone's year is divided between Earth/Olympus and the Underworld.
Hades was a name for both the Underworld and the god who ruled it. The underworld itself was also referred to as Erebus, the Asphodel FieldsElysium or Tartarus- Erebus was the underworld in general. Elysium was a later invention, a paradise for the righteous, the Asphodel Fields were a Greek version of limbo, and Tartarus was an abyss of eternal punishment.
Kronos did not die. Zeus and his siblings dethroned him and sent him to the underworld. They then divided the powers between them.
