	Elysium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Elysium (Greek: Ηλύσια πεδία) was a section of the Underworld (the spelling Elysium is a Latinization of the Greek word Elysion).
		Elysium is an obscure and mysterious name that evolved from a designation of a place or person struck by lightning, enelysion, enelysios.
		Elysium was a pagan expression that passed into the usage of the Christian patristic writers as a synonym for paradise.

	Schiaparelli, Giovanni Virginio (1835-1910)
		A light spot in the southern hemisphere, for example, he called Nix Olympia – the Snows of Olympus (now known to be the largest volcano in the solar system and rechristened Olympus Mons).
		These lines he referred to as canali and he named them after famous rivers, both fictional and real – Gehon, Hiddekel, and Phison from the rivers in the Garden of Eden, Lethes and Nepenthes from the underground realm of Hades, and Ganges, Euphrates, and Nilus from actual geography.
		Moreover, Schiaparelli himself clearly favored a maritime view of Mars in which the dark areas were seas and the brighter regions land.

		In the interior of this land mass is a mountain range which he flies around, but then, he is shot down over an immense well watered plain, and finds a sort of permanent four cornered war going on between four cities.
		The north polar land mass is shaped like a ‘C’, suggesting that on a seasonal basis it periodically freezes a fair chunk of the ocean waters (assuming that the pole glaciates, but even if it doesn't the cold region will reduce the temperature of waters in its region).
		Effectively, the shape of the north polar land mass as a cold, perhaps glacial land surrounding a captive sea or bay means that it acts as a sort of refrigerator to freeze or chill the arctic water.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| LRB essay
		The only significant way in which Bushnell disappoints is in her decision not to use the gardening manuals to explore the literature of the period, but to use literature as a gloss on the manuals.
		Evelyn's Elysium Britannicum is the only one of these manuals which is still enjoyable today, but even it shows that gardening lore is on the whole a lot simpler than most fictional writing about gardens.
		There are moments when fictions about gardens explicitly explore areas of thought that are only implicit in technical writings on gardens, and speak more loudly for the unconscious of the society that produced them than technical manuals are able to do.
