Hades is the Greek word often translated as hell in English. Hades is not really the equivalent of the Christian concept of a pit of fiery torment for the punishment of unrepentant sinners, but the word is used that way in this phrase. It is often thought to be a little more polite than the crass 'hot as hell'.
