The Ancient Greeks believed that after death you went to Erebus - which is roughly the equivalent of what we might understand as 'the underworld' (indeed, much of what we might call 'the underworld' is based on Ancient Greek beliefs). This was the realm of Hades and was generally not all that pleasant; there wasn't so much of a 'heaven' and 'hell' in Greek mythology... Just something closer to 'hell'.

According to ancient Greek beliefs, after death, the spirit or soul of an individual would go to the Underworld, ruled by Hades. Here, the soul would face judgment in front of the god of the Underworld and be assigned to one of three realms: Elysium for the virtuous and heroic, the Fields of Asphodel for the average individuals, or Tartarus for the wicked and sinful.
