How is the Greek god Hades a hero?

This is a hard question. Hades was often portrayed a cold hearted god of death. However some say he was hero because although he was the god of the underworld he wasn't the god of death - Thanatos was. Hades was in charge of seeing over the delivery of newly deceased souls to their proper places. If you were bad, you'd go to Tartarus - Hell. If you were good you'd go to paradise. Hades was in charge of that, without him our souls would never find rest

• in Greek mythology

Bare in mind it is commonly said Hades was forced to become the god of the underworld as punishment by his brother Zeus. So Hades is mostly considered an anti-hero. But others think different

Hope this helps.
