Some believe the 3 Greek words translated to English as 'hell' are actually an interpolation - that is something added to or altering/corrupting with something foreign which in this case is an 'idea' of men. Be that as it may, there are 3 words translated as hell from the Greek. They are:

Hades - meaning unseen or grave or pit and is equivalent to 'sheol' in Hebrew.

Gehenna - valley of Hinnom and a burning city garbage dump.

Tartaroo/tartarus - a dark place of restraint for the fallen angels used one time in The Bible.

Where did the ancient Greeks spirit go after death?

The Ancient Greeks believed that after death you went to Erebus - which is roughly the equivalent of what we might understand as 'the underworld' (indeed, much of what we might call 'the underworld' is based on Ancient Greek beliefs). This was the realm of Hades and was generally not all that pleasant; there wasn't so much of a 'heaven' and 'hell' in Greek mythology... Just something closer to 'hell'.
