HADES HADES (hā'dēz), in Homer the Greek word Ades figures as the name of a god, a god , in large measure corresponding to the Roman Pluto. After Homer it becomes a place to which the dead go. Both Greeks and Romans supposed the infernal regions to be in the center of the earth. To enter these, in the Roman opinion, the river Styx had to be crossed by the spirits of the dead, Charon, the ferryman, for a small sum, rowing the boat. If, by any misfortune the body had been unburied, the soul had to wander 100 years on the banks of the Styx before it was taken across. Pluto was the king of the spirit world. Rhadamanthus its most noted judge. In the Jewish belief, the place of the dead; the Hebrew sheol, which occurs 65 times in the Hebrew Bible, and in 61 of them is rendered in the Septuagint Hades. In the Authorized Version of the English Bible it is translated in the Old Testament 31 times by "grave," 31 times by "hell," and 3 times by "pit." "The ancient Hebrews conceived of Sheol as situated below, so that souls had to "go down" or descend before entering it.
In Christian doctrine, one of the two words rendered in the Authorized Version by the ambiguous term HELL (q. v.).
