What does "Aidoneus" mean?

It’s the extended name of Hades. They mean the same thing. The reason why Aidoneus was used in The Homeric Hymn to Demeter (and consequently my writing) is that it flows better in the iambic hexameter in which the poem was written. The name basically meaned “The Unseen Lord”.
