Shade = Hades

I find it very interesting to note that if one removes the S in Shade and tacks it on to the end of the name, one ends up with Hades.

Hades, Grecian god and king of the underworld.

In the image below, Hades abducts Demeter's daughter Persephone.
Sculpture by Bernini. I believe the sculpture is called "The Rape of Proserpina" as Bernini was Italian.
