Is Pluto also the name of the underworld like how Hades is both the god and the underworld?

[โ€“] MisplacedAstronaut 1 points 3 months ago

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Pluto was the ruler of the Greek underworld. The earlier name for the god was Hades, which became more common as the name of the underworld itself. Pluto represents a more positive concept of the god who presides over the afterlife.
