  Cemetery Culture: The Gods of Death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The place where souls went after death came to be known by the name of the god.
To distinguish him, the Greeks called him Polydegmon, "the one who receives many guests" because of the steady stream of departed spirits who crossed the River Styx to abide in his sepulchral hostel.
He allowed no one to leave his realm (though Sisysphus contrived to escape returning to the land of the living to fetch the ferry toll that he had "forgotten -- Hades saw to it that the crafty king spent eternity rolling a boulder up a hill).

 Hades
At the division of the universe after the overthrow of their father, Zeus took the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the underworld; the earth was to be shared among them.
Another name for Hades was Polydegmon ("receiver of many guests") on account of the multitudes who had died and come to his kingdom.
The ghosts of the dead were escorted by Hermes, the messenger god, to the boatman Charon who ferried across the Styx, a subterranean river, only those ghosts who could pay the fare.

The Snakey Men, creations and subjects of Lucifer Polydegmon, are both the most numerous and the most ill-designed creatures of the Air Realm, which is occasionally called the Air Plane by people who think they're being funny.
(Some of the more educated - or crazy, since the two seem to go hand-in-hand - sages believe that it's a ploy by Polydegmon to keep unwanted visitors out of his palace.
After all, if most of the locals can't fly, how are they going to get to his palace, which is on a floating island by itself?)

 The lovers of Demeter
There are myths where Zeus was both God of Heaven and God of the Underworld, suggesting that Hades is simply Zeus's dark counterpart.
One of Zeus's epitaphs, Polydegmon, or 'receiver of many guests,' seems to support this possibility.
However, whiles the name 'Zeus' refers to the light of day, Haides (or Aides) seems to have it's linguistic roots in 'invisible' or 'the invisible one.' Could the King of Heaven also be the unseen one who strikes men down?
