Known to Greek Lore as the ruler of the Underworld and the antagonist in the classical tale of Persephone and Demeter, the god Hades stands here in a splendid example Greek imagery. Draped in robes that leave his torso bare, Hades gazes out over all before him, with his bearded face set in a state of regal calm beneath his majestic crown. By his side stands the three-headed dog Cerberus, the fierce guardian of the Underworld that keeps the dead from leaving and the living from entering, collared and leashed with his chains clasped firmly in the right hand of the grim deity. In his right hand, Hades holds a shepard's goad, symbolizing his rule and guardianship over those who pass into the Underworld.
