Unlike his freely procreating brothers Jupiter and Uranus, the Roman god Pluto is monogamous, and is rarely said to have children.

In the Greek version of the mythology, in Orphic texts, the chthonic nymph Melinoe is the daughter of Persephone by Zeus disguised as Hades (Pluto), and the Eumenides ("The Kindly Ones") are the offspring of Persephone and Zeus Chthonios, often identified as Hades (Pluto).


The Augustan poet Vergil says that Pluto is the father of Allecto the Fury, whom he hates. The lack of a clear distinction between Pluto and "chthonic Zeus" confuses the question of whether in some traditions, now obscure, Persephone bore children to her husband.
