Hadestown’s sub-Tumblr tag: WOW, Hadestown swept at the Tonys and deservedly so!
The Lord of the Underworld and brother of Zeus in Greek mythology. Commonly used as an alternative word for "hell," but the Pit of Tartarus was hell and Hades was the one who ruled over it.
Hades was not a cruel god. He was merely doing his job. He did not kill, only governed the dead.
