Of course, God Hypnos was afraid and refused, so Hera seduced him with the reward, it was an exquisite golden chair, extremely comfortable to sit with the attached footstool, very suitable for God of sleep. Once again, the Goddess Hera asks Hypnos to make Zeus fall asleep to help her change the situation in Troy war. But indeed, it is true that when people do not really take the consequences, people will often make their mistakes again. After hearing those words, Zeus silently went back because he didn't want to confront the respectable Goddess Nyx. Out of fear, Hypnos went to hide in his mother's room, Goddess Nyx, who was unhappy to hear about it but still helped Her son and said that this would be the first and last time. When Zeus awoke, He was furious, He came with cloud, thunder and lightning to prepare to punish Hypnos. In the first time, He innocently listened to Goddess Hera, God Hypnos made Zeus sleep deeply so that the Goddess could take advantage to put those punishments on the hero Heracles (the illegitimate child of Zeus that Hera hated the most) without being interfered by Zeus. And most especially, He is the only one who dared to provoke the supreme Zeus twice without having to suffer any consequences. He is the one who holds the sleep of all life in the world which is understood to be one third of their lives. God Hypnos lives in a cave which is said to be the source of the forgotten river, Lethe. God is described as a handsome, extremely calm and gentle. Next is our main character today, the God of sleep Hypnos, is the twin brother with Grim reaper Thanatos. Because normally, the souls of the dead will be guided slowly down to the Underworld by God Hermes. Grim reaper Thanatos is the biological brother of old man Charon, who always appears when a person has used up their destiny and brought their souls to the underworld in the most brutal way, this is the implication of sudden death. They were born from the Ancient God Uranus’s blood when it met Gaia. Those Goddess who has serpent hair, bat wings, holding their whip, specialized in punishing inhumane souls are Erinyes. Perhaps, he was chosen because he was the biological son of the great God Zeus? But I still wonder about Minos, since he didn't seem so righteous when he was alive. And when they died, they were chosen by the God Hades as His judges. The three judges that decided the destination of the souls, Minos, Rhadamanthus, Aeacus, were all intelligent kings when they are alive. Since Cerberus was the son of the two great evil Gods Typhon (who can knock Zeus out) and the mother of all monsters Echidna, I believe that only a powerful God like Hades can tame it. Three-headed Cerberus is responsible for keeping order for the underworld, the wandering souls, walking in the wrong place will be barked by it and have to stabilize their position quickly, if they are still deliberately wrong, Cerberus would devour that stubborn soul without any hesitation. So I will always keep in mind the phrase "the sense of the dead is that of the final" in my heart. So it is very pity for those who die but their families don’t complete funeral procedures, they will have to stand forever on this side of the river, wail for their unlucky fate and wait for hundreds or even thousands of years to be able to cross the river. He is known for his cold, tough personality, every soul who wants to cross the river must give him a coin, and will always be one because there is no difference between rich and poor in death, an unchanging law. Misson of old man Charon is to send the souls of the dead across the Styx river so that they can continue their afterlife.
In this section I will briefly introduce the outstanding characters and their works in this underworld so that you have a more sympathetic view of the world of the dead and the supreme God Hades.įirst is old man Charon, with a such noble background, his father was the Primodial God Erebus - the God of darkness and his mother was the Goddess Nyx - the Primodial God who held the night. Or they are entrusted with extremely important jobs which decided enormously to the fate of humanity so they are extreme powerful characters. In the underworld, most of the characters here have a noble background, even some Gods were born when the universe first formed.
