Entrance to Hades

Hades is the underworld in Greek mythology. It shares its name with its ruler, Hades.

History

During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra was accidentally transported to a simulated depiction of Hades, after being tossed through a cavern by Persephone.[1] After defeating Cerberos, who served as the realm's guardian, Kassandra came face to face with the realm's ruler, who demanded her to find four guardians to replace Cerberos. He also directed her to seek out the ferryman Charon and help him with his errands.[2]

Geography

Much like the Egyptian afterlife, Greek afterlife was made up of numerous realms which variously served as the final destination for different adherents depending on how they lived their lives, including Elysium, for those who had been granted immortality by the gods, and Hades, for people destined for the underworld. The prison Tartaros could be found in this place.[3]

Notable was also the river Styx which ran through the realm, though it was rumoured to originate in Arkadia.[4]
