Well, Mythology is centralized on religion of Ancient Greek. If you were to look up Hades in Wikipedia, or just on Google, you'd find he is the God of the Underworld. Hecate as a torch to light the dark. He is the divinity of the Underworld. I believe the answer. Hades is the Greek version of Pluto. Roman mythology is based on planets. Just as Venus is the planet that most resembles Aphrodite.
The last one, Hades and Hecate work hand in hand in the underworld.
