No the Greek underworld is not hell because it has a certain place where the souls of good people go where as hell is a place where unsaved bad souls go, although there is a spot in the underworld were bad souls do go.

Hades is the Greek word often translated as hell in English. Hades is not really the equivalent of the Christian concept of a pit of fiery torment for the punishment of unrepentant sinners, but the word is used that way in this phrase. It is often thought to be a little more polite than the crass 'hot as hell'.

Greek underworld was known as a huge cave with many kinds of torturing devices, but not full of fire. It is a wrong expression since Greek underworld isn't hot. The expression must have came from "hot as hell".
