Images of Hades• I chose this image of Hades because it

shows him with his dogs. The characteristics I like in this particular picture is that he is sculpted with his dogs. This image spoke to me because he only has one arm. I think this represents that he is the king of the underworld and that he is dead. I also like this image because it shows that his dogs were not the size of dragons like some movies have said.

• This image was from 260 AD

Modern Art of Hades• This image is from the 19th

century• I chose this image because it

shows Hades sitting on his throne to the Underworld. It portrays the characteristics of the side of his face and his body sitting down. I also chose this image because it shows how powerful he is because he has his staff with him, which is a main symbol of him.
