According to Greek myths, the abode of the dead or foggy (also called Erebo), this is where all the dead went after their departure from the underworld, it is said that mortals were judged after their death and were rewarded or cursed according to his actions throughout his life.

The deceased to be judged had to pass through five rivers that made up the kingdom of the dead, their cousin was called Acheron (the river of sorrow or anguish), the Cocytus (lamentations), the Phlegeton (fire), Lethe ( oblivion) and Styx (hatred), Achilles is said to have been submerged to make him invincible. The last river that is the Styx is the border between the world of the living and the dead.

It is said that in the courtyard of Hades and Persephone, the three deities and judges of the underworld sat: Minos, Radamantis and Aeacus. Wherever the three paths met, the souls were judged, returning to the lands of Asphodel if they were not virtuous or evil, sent to the path of the dark Tartarus if they were impious or evil, or to the Elysee (Islands of the Blessed) with the heroes "Blameless."
