Helmet of Invisibility belongs to Hades, the God and Ruler of The Underworld. It was forged by the Cyclops during the Titanomachy. It enables the user to become invisible and to control The Underworld.
Appearance[]
Originally, the helmet was a simple gold/bronze helmet similar to the ones mortal warriors wore.
In Cronus Vanquished, the helmet is shown to be much more stylized and colorful and decorated with gems.
In the Series[]
In Bad Blood, Autolycus is called from his time by Cronus to find and steal Hercules's Last Surviving Arrow, which were soaked with lethal Hydra poison, in exchange for A Golden Apples of Immortality from the Garden of the Hesperides. Armed with the Helmet of Invisibility he originally lent to Odysseus so that the hero could sneak into Troy, Autolycus breaks into labs and museums in New Olympia while invisible and had stolen several arrows that were later proven fake with the real arrow in the possession of Theresa's Dad.
In Cronus Vanquished, Cronus used the helmet to take control of the Underworld and Thanatos.
During Time After Time, the helmet was first made by the Cyclops and given to Hades to carry out the role of stealing the titans weapons. However, because Cronus was expecting history to repeat itself, he was able to stop and imprison Hades. When Cronus tried to get the helmet during a fight, Zeus used a lightning bolt to destroy it.
Mythology[]
In Greek mythology, the Cap of Invisibility is a helmet or cap that possesses the ability to turn the wearer invisible.
Also known as the Cap of Hades, Helm of Hades, Helm of Darkness. The helm was used by numerous figures, including the Goddess of wisdom, Athena, the messenger God, Hermes, and the hero, Perseus. The Cap of Invisibility enables the user to hide from the eyes of other supernatural beings, functioning much like the cloud or mist that the gods surround themselves in to become undetectable.
Trivia[]
- It is unknown if the helmet in the series is the same helmet every time it is seen since Zeus had destroyed the one used in the titan war.
