  Hades - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hades ruled the Underworld and therefore most often associated with death and was feared by men, but he was not Death itself — the actual embodiment of Death was Thanatos.
The consort of Hades, and the archaic queen of the Underworld in her own right, before the Hellene Olympians were established, was Persephone, represented by the Greeks as daughter of Zeus and Demeter.
Hades showed mercy only once: Because the music of Orpheus was so hauntingly sad, he allowed Orpheus to bring his wife, Eurydice, back to the land of the living as long as she walked behind him and he never tried to look at her face until they got to the surface.

 Ballistic missile - Enpsychlopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Long and medium range ballistic missiles are generally designed to deliver nuclear warheads because their payload is too limited for conventional explosives to be efficient, and because the extreme heat of re-entry would damage chemical or biological payloads.
Many advanced ballistic missiles have several rocket stages and their course can be slightly adjusted from one stage to the next.
The first ballistic missile was the V-2 rocket, developed by Nazi Germany in the 1940s, which was successully launched for the first time on October 3, 1942 and used for the first time in operation on September 8, 1944.
