The "Greek Heaven" was known as Elysium. It was a shimmering place located in the dark pits of the Underworld. It is not said in Greek Mythology who determined where you were sent, I suppose it was probably Hades' choice. If you were noble enough in your life to be sent to Elysium, you could either choose to stay there, or you could live a second life. If you earned entrance to Elysium three times after three good and jest lives, you would be sent to an island at the center of a crystalline lake, that was an ever better paradise. The opposite of Elysium was Tartarus, the Greek version of Hell. However, only the truly wicked were sent to Tartarus. If you were not bad enough to be sent to Tartarus, but not good enough to be sent to Elysium, you would live in the main part of the Underworld, living in agony, but nothing compared to those sent to Tartarus.
