Pluto

Greek Mythology Deities

Pluto, or Plouton, was the ruler of the underworld in ancient Greek religion and mythology. A more positive conception of the god than Hades, he was linked with the afterlife, underground mineral wealth and the fertile earth. He was venerated with Persephone, whom myth describes him as abducting to become his wife and queen. The Latinized form was Plūtō, and his Roman equivalent was Dis Pater.
