Places Back to INDEX Mt. Olympus The Underworld The Ocean Earth The River Styx

Mt. Olympus Back to PLACES * Olympus was where the gods lived. Zeus married his sister and together they ruled Olympus. There really is a Mt. Olympus and since it was so high up the Ancient Greeks decided it was the realm of the gods. Humans and other creatures could only visit Olympus if they had an invitation.

Back to PLACES Earth * Sometimes gods visited Earth, and often fell in love with one of Earth’s inhabitants. * Sometimes they would have children who would be half human/half god.

The Underworld Back to PLACES * The underworld was a place inside the earth that was made up of three places; Tartarus, The Asphodel Fields, and The Elsyian Fields. * The underworld was ruled by Hades, Zeus’s brother. The Asphodel Fields The Elsyian Fields Tartarus

The Ocean Back to PLACES * The Ocean was ruled by Poseidon and his wife, Amphitrite. * Poseidon controlled the wind and the waves. Sailors often made sacrifices to him so they would have smooth sailing.

Back to PLACES The Styx The River Styx was the way to get to the underworld. To get across you must pay Charon, the boatman. The cost was one obol, a Greek coin. After you paid him he would take you across.

The Asphodel Fields Back to the UNDER WORLD Normal commoners went to the Asphodel Fields. This was a gray, shadowy, misty, and ghostly place. Here their souls wandered around like shadows.

Tartarus Back to the UNDER WORLD Tartarus is where the worst humans and gods went. They suffered horrendous punishments such as eternal hunger and thirst, being tied to a wheel of fire, being hit with thunderbolts, climbing a mountain endlessly, and shameful donkey’s ears. These people had to suffer for eternity.

The Elysian Fields Back to the UNDER WORLD * Heroic, kind, and noble people went to the Elysian Fields. Here they rested and enjoyed lives of luxury. * You could be sent to Earth to live another life after you died.
