AMEN. VISUALIZING THE SETTING GROUP 2 IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY, THE UNDERWORLD, ALSO KNOWN AS HADES OR THE REALM OF DEAD IS A MYSTERIOUS AND GLOOMY PLACE WHERE SOULS GO AFTER DEATH. IT IS RULED BY GOD HADES, ALONGSIDE HIS QUEEN, PERSEPHONE. ENTRANCE The entrance to the underworld is typically depicted as a dark and foreboding cave or a river called the Styx. The river Styx acts as a boundary between the living world and the underworld, and it must be crossed by souls to reach Hades' realm. • The Greek underworld is GEOGRAPHY often described as a vast and intricate network of caverns and tunnels, extending deep beneath the earth. It consists of different sections, such as Tartarus, the Asphodel Meadows, and the Elysian Fields. TARTARUS Tartarus is the deepest and darkest section of the underworld, reserved for the punishment of villains and wicked creatures. It is a place of eternal torment, where the most notorious criminals, titans, and other monstrous beings are held captive. ASPHODEL MEADOWS This is the section of the underworld where the majority of souls reside. It is a neutral and dreary place, where ordinary souls wander aimlessly, lacking any particular pleasure or suffering. It is neither a place of reward nor punishment. ELYSIAN FIELDS The Elysian Fields, also known as the Isles of the Blessed, is a portion of the underworld reserved for the souls of heroes, demigods, and those deemed righteous. It is a place of eternal happiness and bliss, where the blessed souls enjoy an idyllic existence. JUDGES AND GUARDIANS Before being assigned to their respective sections, souls in the underworld are judged and assessed. The three judges of the underworld are Rhadamanthus, Aeacus, and Minos. They decide the fate of souls based on their deeds in life. Additionally, Cerberus, a three-headed dog, guards the entrance to the underworld, preventing the living from entering and the dead from escaping. FEATURES AND DENIZENS The Greek underworld is inhabited by various mythical creatures and figures. These include the Furies, who torment souls in Tartarus, the ferryman Charon, who transports the deceased across the river Styx, and the shades, which are the ghostly and insubstantial forms of the dead. • THE WORLD DURING THE QUESTION: TIME OF MYTHS AND 2.
