Hades was a multifaceted god. Originally, Hades was simply the name of the Underworld itself, but was later personified through the god Plouton (who then became known as Hades).
Hades represented not just the Lord of the Dead, but also the god of wealth and riches, which were taken from beneath the earth.
He was the second son of Kronos and Rhea, but is not an Olympian.
He had few shrines, and there are only a few myths about him.
He ruled the underworld completely, though, and was adamant about those entering never leaving again (with some notable exceptions).
He has given a helmet by Hephaestos that made him invisible (which he lent to Perseus for his quest to slay Medusa)
His symbols were the three headed dog, the Narcissus Lily, the Cypress Tree, the key to Hades.
His throne was made of Ebony.
Only black animals were sacrificed to him, and when they prayed to him, Greeks beat their hands on the ground. Any blood from a sacrifice had to be allowed to drip into a cleft or pit, and the priest has to avert his eyes.
