Best Answer

The Underworld in Greek mythology is the place where dead people's souls go after they die. It is controlled by Hades (who, needless to say, is quite bitter about this). It contains three major sections, and one main subsection. Tarturus is the place where the souls who did evil things in their lives go, doing their eternal punishments, such as standing in hot lava, rolling a 4-ton ball up a hill that always falls to the bottom again, and standing in a pool under a fruit tree with insatable hunger and thirst and not being able to reach either thing. The Fields of Asphodel is the place where normal people go after they die; neither good nor bad. Eyslium is the place for people who are exceptoinnally good in their deeds, such as hereos and preists. The Isles of the Blest were inside Eyslium, and were for the amazingly good people who had chosen to be reborn and acheived Eyslium three times.
