LIFE AND DEATH BY AMBER ROSE DEVENNEY

Hundreds of years ago, in the times of Ancient Greece, were all-powerful beings called Greek Gods and Goddesses. There were too many to count, so they were put into two groups: Minor Gods and Major Gods. There were 15 major Gods. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Persephone, Demeter, Hestia, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, and Dionysus.

Hades was the god of the Underworld and the god of riches. Zeus was the god of lightning, hospitality, justice, and honor. Hera was the goddess of marriage. Demeter was the goddess of agriculture. Persephone was the goddess of the spring. Apollo was the god of the sun, music and medicine. Artemis was the goddess of childbirth, the moon and hunting. Dionysus was the god of wine and merriment. Poseidon was the god of the seas. Hestia was the goddess of the hearth. Hermes was the god of thieves, travelers, and messages. Ares was the god of war and blood. Athena was the goddess of arts/crafts, war strategies, and wisdom. Hephaestus was the god of metal work, blacksmiths and fire. Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty and love.

Hades had no wives or lovers, unlike his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, who had many. Well, he didn't have a wife until Persephone came into his life and turned it upside down. This is the story of them.
