Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history and mythology of the ancient Greek and Roman underworld, exploring the divine figures who ruled over it. At the helm of the underworld was the formidable god Pluto, whose names and attributes varied across cultures and time periods. From the Greek "Pluton," meaning "wealthy," to the Roman "Dis Pater," meaning "father of riches," the many names of Pluto reflected his dominion over the underworld's treasures. As "Orcus," he was invoked as the guardian of oaths, while his association with agriculture and fertility earned him the title "Summanus." This book offers a comprehensive overview of Pluto's multifaceted nature, examining his role as both a fearsome ruler and a symbol of hidden wealth and potential.
