Hades (Pluto)

the devil

Elysium

Elysium was the island for a chosen few. The gods permitted only heroes or very good people to enter into this area.

Asphodel Fields

The Asphodel Fields were for the spirits of the common Greek. The majority of the population would be directed to here after death. Those who went to the Asphodel Fields were people who were neither particularly good or evil during their lives.

Tartarus

Tartarus was an area for those who were to be punished. In this place punishments were severe and unending. It was to Tartarus that Zeus sent the Titans after winning the battles against them. Mortals also could end up in Tartarus for crimes such as raping a daughter, hording wealth, committing fraud, and other more severe crimes.

A big answer, I know. but interesting, eh?

Zeus

Unlike many other ancient cultures the Greek gods were human shaped and human nature at heart, they loved, they pitied, they cried - they were not monsters that only hated and were vengeful - there is a certain beauty in the Greek myths whose gods and goddesses were portrayed later as being beyond the need of human sacrifice which marked so many other cultures. There are hints to the dark past of Greek myth, but in the myths they seem remote even in the time when Greek myth was old religion.

Pride and stubbornness.

He is not married, neither does he have any offspring.

No: he did not.

In Roman mythology, in the tale of Cupid and Psyche, Psyche managed to get past Cerberus by giving him a cake.

Huh, okay.

Is there really a fourth judge of the dead?

Is Hades the ruler of the dead a pale god?

What are all the Keres individual names and what death are they goddess of?

Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus.

Nope, Persephone was a maiden (in other words, she was a young woman, probably equivalent to eighteen or twenty-one to us)

Pluto is Hades. He was born on Mount Olympus.

Tantalus was a king, so popular with the Olympian Gods that he was able to dine with them in their Court. But, one day, he was caught trying to steal some ambrosia to take it home and figure out the recipe. As a punishment he was banned from Olympus. But, later, he invited the Gods to dine in his palace, to show his forgiveness. His fatal flaw was that he hated his children. He stewed them, and served the stew to the Gods and the banquet. When the found out, he was banished to Tartarus , into the Fields of Punishment, and was cursed. The curse was that he was never to eat or drink again.

Yes, in the Underworld it is. - Not just in the Underworld. It's REAL!! I've BEEN there!! - Read the book "In the footsteps of Orpheus" by RF Paget, for the exact location, in Baia, South of Naples, in Italy. - Don't just believe in 'Fairy Stories' - GO THERE, & see for yourself. Take a GOOD flashlight, as it's 120ft underground, reached by a long decending passageway. - But well worth a visit.
