Overview
According to Greek mythology, the Helm of Hades was made by the Cyclops race, along with Zeus' lightning bolt and Poseidon's trident, to serve the three Olympian Gods in their war against the Titans.
The Helm has since been used by several others notable figures of Greek myth, including Athena, Hermes, and perhaps most famously Perseus - who used it in his quest to slay Medusa.
