Who is more evil, Hades or Zeus?

In Greek mythology, neither Hades nor Zeus is purely "evil"; they represent natural forces, but Zeus often causes more chaos and suffering through his actions (like infidelity and meddling), while Hades is feared for his role as ruler of the dead but is generally portrayed as stern, fair, and reluctant to interfere in mortal affairs, making Zeus seem more "villainous" by modern standards. Hades' negative image often comes from cultural adaptations (like Disney's Hercules) equating him with Christian concepts of hell, which isn't accurate to the myths, as noted in some Quora and Tumblr posts.
