What Do You Know about Hades?

Maybe, Hades is the name linked to fear and darkness in Greek myths. Although there aren’t many myths including Hades as their hero or villain, his presence is felt in almost every single Greek myth, especially the mention of his house, or realm, the underworld. However, as you have listened to some information about Hades, let me check your understanding of some of the information you have listened to in the audio podcast and maybe, I will venture a little bit more and ask you more questions related to this episode, and some of the earlier Myths and Legends episodes related to this one. Come, let’s check your knowledge and understanding of Myths and Legends – The Olympian Gods – Hades and co.

Which of the following is not among Hades' siblings?

Who guarded the gates of the underworld not to let anyone leave?

I hope you enjoyed listening to the episode and don’t forget about the question at the end of the episode. I will write it again so that you have a chance to think about it and share your answer in the comment section below or on Twitter if you like.
