The Three Brothers

 

For those Harry Potter fans out there, I am not talking about the Three Brothers and the Deathly Hallows. I am talking abou the original Three Brothers. They were Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. These three gods were some of the most powerful in the Greek World. After they deated Kronos in the Titan War, they split up the powers to rule the three  domains. Zeus became king and ruled the skies. Poseidon took the seas, and Hades got the Underworld and everything that was in the earth belonged to him. The Three Cyclopses forged for them some of the most famous weapons in Greek Mythology. For Zeus, they forged the lightning bolt to rule the skies. For Poseidon, thebasicy forged a trident to command the seas. For Hades, they forged a Helm of Darkness, which would make him invisible, as goes with the ruler of the Underworld. 

One thing that I would like to note is that Hades is not the god of the Dead in Greek Mythology. He is the ruler of the Underworld. Thanatos is the real god of the Dead. This is where we get the present words that have meanings of death such as a Thanatologist and Thanatology.
