The god was represented as seated on his throne. […] He was often represented with eyes covered because of the blindness of his actions. […] The abode of Pluto is represented as wide-gated, and thronged with guests. […] He is the guardian deity of gates, on which account he is commonly represented as facing both ways. […] One scene represented Leda caressing the swan; and another, Danaë and the golden shower.
