Thoughts on devils

I'm comparing classic ideas of "the devil"

Satan (Lucifer)...... and...... Hades

Satan-  christian view, fallen angel, sin incarnate, lives in Hell
What made him fall from grace?
How is he portrayed (personality, character)?
What are symbols/ icons of the devil?
What kind of people go to Hell (therefore going to Lucifer)?
Who is Lucifer's foil (opposite; enemy)?
Hades-  greek mythological view, ruler of the Underworld, married to Persephone
How did he become the ruler of the Underworld?
How is he portrayed?
What are symbols/ icons of Hades?
What kind of people go to Hades (underworld)?
Who is Hades' foil ?
