What allusions to greek gods do we use today?
Well many words derive from the gods' names, such as volcano from the roman god Vulcan, and many words derive from the Greek muses (eg. museum etc.). Also, my grandma always used to say 'By Jove' when we were in trouble, Jove being the Roman for Zeus.
Did hades have girlfriends?
Hades was deeply in love with his wife, Persephone, and there are two different views on his faithfulness. Some people say that he had a nympth as a mistress named Minthe (Mintha/Menthe), while others say that Minthe only attempted to seduce Hades. In either case, Persephone turned her into the plant we know as mint. There was another nympth he was said to have had an affair with, name Leuce (Leuke). She, however, also came to a metamorphosed end, as she was changed into a white poplar tree and sent to live in the Underworld for all eternity. Most gods were not very monogamous, but Hades was fairly tame compared to others. As far as I know, Minthe and Leuce were the only lovers he took.
