Talk:Pluto's Toga/@comment-4273152-20151012015533/@comment-4273152-20151012052500

He was the god of the Earth's bounty, i.e. metals and gemstones. So the effect isn't off. Plutus was the god of material wealth and bounty, as in the things people own.

Also learned today that in the classical myths his name wasn't Hades. Pluto is the Greek god who ruled the realm of Hades and his Roman counterpart was Dis Pater. Apparently there's like three or four gods that go into Hades and about the same into the Roman version. He's the vernacular clusterfuck of the gods, and that saying something given the competition.
