Next, there are the Asphodel Meadows. This is where people who have lived good but unremarkable lives come to stay after those lives have ended.
That is the pit of Tartarus. You should never want a closer look than this. Tartarus is a land of pain, despair, and punishment. It is reserved for only the most despicable people who have spent their lives as scoundrels, thieves, and murderers.
For those who are deserving. Hades will reward them in the Elysian Fields. But Hades will eternally punish those who cross him or anger the gods. Sisyphus and Tantalus were crafty, deceitful kings who were sent to Tartarus for the rest of time.
sisyphus was sentenced to push a heavy boulder up a steep hill forever. Every time he is close to reaching the top of the hill, it rolls back down, and he must start the process over again.
Tantalus was sentenced to stand in a pool of water that sits beneath a fruit tree. No matter how hungry or thirsty he gets, he will never be able to reach for the fruit or the water.
It is my job to know these things and to share with you this knowledge. I am Hermes, messenger of the gods and son of Zeus. I am also tasked with guiding souls to the Underworld.
I hope that I have given you useful information and have answered any questions that you might have about the realm of the dead. Feel free to stop by again! After all, the Greeks believed that this would be their home for all eternity -- it's not as if we are going anywhere!
Hey, do you get the feeling we are being watched...?
