Pluto

**Pluto** is the Roman God of the Underworld.

## **Background**

Pluto was one of the six children of Saturn and Ops, alongside Jupiter, Neptune, Juno, Ceres and Vesta.

Over time they replaced their father as the leaders of the cosmos, so Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto then drew straws on which aspect of the universe they would rule: Jupiter became the lord of the skies, Neptune lord of the seas and Pluto became lord of the Underworld.

Due to being confined in the underworld and it's connection to the dead, Pluto's chance to get a wife seemed unlikely.

He eventually abducted Proserpina, the daughter of Ceres. Ceres was upset of this, and as goddess of grains, refused to fulfil her duties, which led to massive droughts and famines in Rome. Jupiter, worried about humanity, contacted Pluto and begged him to release Proserpina. Pluto agrees, but it is also revealed that Proserpina had eaten food in the underworld, which confined her to the Underworld for half of the year.

The time of the year when Ceres and Proserpina would be together became spring and summer, while the time when she returned to the Underworld would be autumn and winter.
