He was believed to kidnapped his wife Persephone.
Actually, Hades is the best god in Greek mythology, he is the oldest in The Three( Hades, Poseidon, Zeus) and only younger than Hestia, the goddess of family. He calm, cool, and somehow humane ( He kidnapped Persephone prove that he need love, a basic humanity). Until he living in the darkness, he very calm and fair. He never allow anyone except the dead to come in or out his kingdom ( except for some heroes, such as Heracles or Odysseus).
Heracles once come into his kingdom, Hades allowed him to capture Cerberus, but by Heracles's own hand, as a deal.He also allowed Orpheus to take his wife's soul back to life,as a sign of respecting Orpheus's love, but with a deal that Orpheus never look back until he surface. When Orpheus fail, Hades not allow him to back again.
When Theseus, son of Poseidon come and said that he wanted to take Hades's wife Persephone, Hades were very angry, but not express that anger out his face. He only stayed cool and tricked Theseus to sit on his Banishing Chair, and that it's! Can you stay calm when someone said that he wanted to take your wife?
