A child of Hades?
Has anyone ever heard of Hades (or Pluto) having a child? I know that He was said to be Infertile but is there any where that He is said to have any Children???

Re: A child of Hades?
Whoever told you that Pluto infertile was certainly ignorant of much mythology.Has anyone ever heard of Hades (or Pluto) having a child? I know that He was said to be Infertile but is there any where that He is said to have any Children???
First off, the name Pluto/Πλοῦτος/Πλούτων means 'prosperous', 'fertile' or 'abundant'. Pluto is a deity of the earth, and the life thereupon.
In mainstream mythology, Pluto is the father of the Furies, while in the Orphic religion, in which Pluto plays a somewhat more significant role, he is the father of two deities unique to Orphism: Zagreus-Eubuleus, a centrally important deity in Orphism, the deity of the higher soul, as well as Meilinoë, the goddess of the lower soul.
