Profile
Origin
In Roman mythology, Pluto is a god-like figure who rules the underworld, the realm of the dead, and is seen as the equivalent to Hades from Greek mythology. He, alongside Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology) and Neptune (Poseidon), are the three brothers of the Roman pantheon, also known as Capitoline Triad. A well-known myth associated with Pluto involves the abduction of Proserpina (Persephone), the daughter of the goddess Ceres (Demeter), in which Pluto became enamored with Proserpina and abducted her to the underworld to be his queen. Grief-stricken by the loss of her daughter, Ceres caused a great famine on Earth, though a compromise was eventually reached. It was decided that Proserpina would spend part of the year in the underworld with Pluto, and the rest of the year on Earth, thereby signifying the changing of seasons.
