The ancient Greek god of the underworld, Haides, also goes by the name Hades.

The deity of the afterlife and the dead in Greek mythology was known as Hades. He was Zeus' and Poseidon's sibling and the child of Cronus and Rhea. He ruled over the underworld, also known as Hades, where the souls of the deceased were said to enter after passing away.

Although he was sometimes portrayed as a stern and unforgiving deity, Hades was also renowned for exercising fair control over the dead. He was in charge of making sure that the souls of the deceased were fairly judged and dispatched to the correct location in the underworld. His three-headed dog Cerberus and his wife Persephone helped him with this endeavor.

Hades was not well revered by the ancient Greeks despite playing a significant role in the afterlife. He was frequently feared and revered but not worshipped because people thought he couldn't do anything to save the living. In contrast, his brothers Zeus and Poseidon were revered as the supreme god and the ocean's patron, respectively.

Finally, Hades, who presided over the underworld and the dead, was a key figure in Greek mythology. Despite not being widely worshipped, he was revered and feared for exercising fair control over the dead.

He was regarded as the lord of the dead in Greek mythology and was portrayed as a stern, uncompromising deity. But there are also stories that imply he had a soft side, such when he let Orpheus bring his wife back from the dead. Hades was a multifaceted person with both good and bad qualities, therefore it is up for interpretation whether or not he had a "good heart."
