Hades, Lord of the Underworld

Hades, lord of the underworld,

Where the shades of the dead roam free,

A place of darkness and despair,

But also, a place of mystery.


In his realm, the river Styx flows,

A boundary between life and death,

Guarded by the ferryman Charon,

Who transports souls to their final rest.


But Hades is not just a place of suffering,

It is also a place of justice,

Where the wicked are punished,

And the virtuous are rewarded.


Hades, lord of the underworld,

A place of darkness and light,

A place of suffering and redemption,

Forever etched in our collective memory.
