Greek mythology, the common belief was the no-one who entered the Underworld would ever leave it. Greek Underworld can be thought of as being made up of three different regions; Tartarus, the Asphodel Meadows and Elysium.

Tartarus is the region of the Underworld normally associated with hell, and was the area where punishment and imprisonment was undertaken; as such it was the normal location of the imprisoned Titans, Tantalus, Ixion and Sisyphus.

Asphodel Meadows was the region of indifference, where those who had lived neither an overly good nor an overly bad life. Having drunk from the River Lethe the deceased would forget their lives, but would spend eternity in a greyness of mindlessness.
Elysium, or the Elysian Fields, was the region of the Underworld where mortals were supposed to aspire to. Elysium was the home of the heroic, and the region of the Underworld most closely associated with paradise
Ancient geographers would also talk of five rivers. River Styx, the river of hatred, the River Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, the River Phlegethon, the river of fire, the River Cocytus, the river of wailing, and the River Acheron, the river of pain.
Valhalla, the einherjar, live a life that would have been the envy of any Viking warrior. All day long, they fight one another, doing countless valorous deeds. But every evening, all their wounds are healed, and they are restored to full health.
