Hercules and Pluto

Thanks to his excellent qualities, Hercules was received into heaven. He saluted the gods who came to congratulate him one after another, but when he was approached by Plutus, the god of wealth and the son of Fortune, Hercules turned his eyes aside. Father Jupiter asked him why he did this. Hercules answered, 'I hate the god of riches: he is a friend to the wicked who corrupts the entire world by throwing his money around!'
