Hermes and Hades

They knew him as Hermes, but he was remembered as Hades.

They knew him as Hermes.

Laughing, mischievous, sneaky, funny,

always with a prank up his sleeve, could talk you into anything, and had an affinity for snakes.

But he was remembered as Hades.

Dark, deadly, cruel, harsh, unkind,proud,

too powerful for his own good, exiled for the good of the rest, and forever standing alone.

Once he was Salazar Serpent-Tongue, the Laughing Thief.

Now he was Lord Slytherin, Ruler of the Dead.

Alas, he is remembered as Hades,

For once they knew him as Hermes.
