Darkness in which son moves, creating hell (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hades

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hell' is the definition.
(I know that hell can be written as Hades)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hades that I've seen before include "It's hell in the Greek shade" , "Classical underworld" , "Infernal situation" , "gloomy place" , "The nether world, hell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
