“But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you’re not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are.”

— Ryan O’Connell (via weltenwellen)

Hades is not Hell

Hades is just where people go after they die there’s no suffering no fire it’s just where you go unless you’re really fuckin bad then they chuck you into Tartarus

Stop applying Western Christianity symbolism to a mutitheistic religion that isn’t even remotely similar I’m begging you please

Three different parts of the realm of Hades:

Fields of Punishment. For murderers, rapists, people with no good redeeming qualities, people who had gone against the gods (Sisyphus and Tantalus come to mind).

Fields of Asphodel/Asphodel Meadows. The basic crowd, the largest bunch. People who were an even mix of good and bad. Unremarkable, nothing happens there, you just wander around for eternity.

Elysium/Elysian Fields. For the pure of heart, the sacrificial ones, the people who died heroes. Within Elysium is the Isle of the Blest, or the place for those who chose rebirth and ended up in Elysium three times when they died. Very exclusive, very small, basically the equivalent of Eden.

Different myths say different things about who goes where, but those three places are always the same.

Tartarus was generally reserved for monsters and titans, though I’m sure some myths would argue for evil humans being thrown there as well.

Hades is the RULER of the Underworld. Not the Underworld itself.

Reblogging because I did NOT know that rebirth was an option in Hellenismos. This is honestly pretty cool. I wonder if they had a belief in something akin to ghosts (souls trapped on Earth for one reason or another) too… Gotta read up on that.
