Hades is the realm of the dead in Greek mythology. It is also the name of the Greek god who holds sway over that realm. The dead were buried with two pennies on their eyes so that they could pay Charon the boat man (portrayed as a skeletal figure) who would ferry the deceased down the river Styx to the realm of the dead, Hades.
