Who is Hades?

Hades was the ruler of Tartarus and the Underworld. Though Hades is the God of the Dead, he is not the God of Death. Hades eventually became known (incorrectly) as a name for the Underworld itself.

Hades is fierce and jealous of his property. He rarely visits the upper land, and thus, has little knowledge of the affairs of the other Gods.

It was Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades- three brothers- who divided the planet into thirds. Zeus took control of the air, Poseiden the sea, and the Underworld was left to Hades. They could not claim the earth itself, as that was the Goddess Mother Earth (the first to emerge from Chaos and the mother of Uranus).

Hades kidnapped Persephone (previously named Core), daughter of Zeus and Demeter, to be his wife. Demeter was distraught and refused to fulfill her duties as Goddess of Argiculture and Plantlife until her daughter was returned to her. Demeter refused to let any trees bear fruit or any other form of plant life to grow, so Zeus allowed Demeter to take Core back before the human race became extinct. His condition: Core could return so long as she hadn't taken part of any of the food of the dead. She had, however, eaten seven pomagranate seeds from the Garden of Hades (as the garden keeper reported). Thus, Persephone had to stay in Tartarus for six months out of every year.

Which titans fought with cronus and which fought with Zeus?

All of the Titans, except for Metis, Rhea, and Gaia fought against Zeus in the clash against Cronus. The Titaness Metis gave Zeus the drink to make Cronus vomit up his swallowed children and later was wedded to Zeus. Rhea told Zeus how to kill/weaken Cronus because she couldn't bear his cruelty to her children anymore. Gaia actually cared for the young Zeus while her daughter Rhea tricked Cronus into swallowing a rock rather than the baby. These women stayed loyal to Zeus until the end of battle.

What are hades favorites?
