 | | 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. |
