Exegesis
A parallel structure follows with ho thanatos kai ho hadēs {ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾅδης | ho thá-na-tos kaí ho há-dēs} forming a compound subject for edokan {ἔδωκαν | é-dō-kan}. The shift from singular edoken to plural edokan matches the coordinated subjects and heightens the sense of cosmic powers (Death and Hades) being compelled to relinquish their hold.
In context — Revelation 20:13
And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and each one was judged according to their works .
