The dead were taken by Hermes to Hades, the realm of the Underworld. Once there, they were taken over the river Styx by Charon the ferryman to be judged by Pluoton (better known as Hades). If they lived a good life, they would be taken to the Elysian Fields to spend eternity in bliss. If they were wicked, they were punished eternally in Tartarus.
Incidentally, this is where the Christian idea of heaven and hell comes from.
