Hades is a Greek term meaning 'grave or pit.' Unfortunately, many verses translate this in the English as 'hell' which has confused many. It is the equivalent to the Hebrew term 'sheol.'

Is Hades a place of fire?

Sheol (Hebrew word), Hades (Greek word) and Hell (English word), words used in the Bible seem to mean "the common grave of mankind". However it is observed that the Christian concept of "Hell" is actually closer to an Ancient Greek place called Tartarus. Which is below Hades itself, which was used to torment and punish people, whereas Hades was just an afterlife prison. In Ancient Greek literature, Hades (and Tartarus too) is certainly a fiery place. There are writings of a river in Hades made of fire in the called Phlegethon, which means fire, flaming or fiery.
