Greek Mythology - The Underworld
Questions and Answers
Cerberus - answer The mighty, three-headed, serpent-maned hound of Hades who
guarded the entrance to underworld.

Charon - answer The ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased
across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of
the dead.

An underworld Daemon who ferried the souls of the dead across the streams of
Acheron into Hades. His fee was a single coin which was placed beneath the tongue of
the dead.

Cronus - answer The old king of the Titans. He was appointed king of the islands of
the blessed, the home of the favoured dead, by Zeus after his release him from the
prison-house of Tartarus.

Erebus - answer The primeval god of darkness. Like the other protogenoi he was
elemental, being the substance of darkness, rather than a man-shaped god. His mists
encircled the underworld and filled the hollows of the earth.

Erinyes - answer The three goddesses of vengeance and retribution. They were
called forth from the underworld to inflict suffering and madness upon the evil-doer, to
bring drought and famine to nations, and punish the souls of the damned in Hades.

Hades - answer The grim King of the Underworld, the ruler of the dead. He received
his dark domain when the three sons of Cronus drew lots for the division of the
universe.

Hecate - answer The goddess of magic, necromancy and the haunting ghosts of the
dead. She who issued forth from the underworld with a train of torch-bearing Lampades,
demonic Lamiae, ghosts and hell-hounds. Hecate was the minister of Persephone.

Hermes - answer The guide of the dead who led the ghosts to their final resting
place in Hades.

Hypnus - answer The god of sleep who dwelt in a silent realm on the borders of
Hades. He issued forth from the underworld with his mother Nyx the Night.

Keres - answer Monstrous she-Daemones of violent death and disease. They
presided over the battlefield carnage, driving the weapons of death and tearing free the
souls from the dying.
