  Hell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The English word 'hell' comes from the Teutonic 'Hel', which originally meant "to cover." "Hel" later referred to the goddess of the Norse underworld, Hel.
Like most ancient (pre-Christian) religions, the underworld was not viewed as negatively as it is in Christianity.
The underworld is only vaguely described, with one unexplored path leading to the punishments of Tartarus, while the other leads through Erebus and the Elysian Fields.

The Hebrew Sheol was translated in the Septuagint as Hades, the name for the underworld in Greek mythology and is still considered to be distinct from "Hell" by Eastern Orthodox Christians.
Tartarus formed part of Hades in Greek mythology, but Hades also included the Elysian fields, a place for the reward of heroes (though Some sources have the Elysian fields, not in the underworld, but as islands in the west), whilst most spent a shadowy existence wandering the asphodels (a flower, most likely Narcissus poeticus) fields.
In Norse mythology the underworld was a cold, monotonous place, which was commanded by the goddess Hel.
