    There are no devils in Greek mythology. It is from later christian influence why there appears an association of Hades with a devil like Satan, like in Disney’s Hercules. There are daemons, which are not gods and are not necessarily evil.

    Also most classic Greeks were probably more terrified of Persephone than of Hades, for example see Odysseus when going through the underworld.
