Elysium
Elysium, also known as the
Elysian Fields, in Greek mythology, a pre-Hellenic paradise. In the works
of Greek poet Homer, Elysium was a land at the westernmost edge of the
world where heroes were made
immortal.
Over
time,
Elysium came to be regarded as the place where the souls of the blessed
dead lived in perfect happiness. In Roman mythology, it was part of the
underworld
and a place of reward for the virtuous dead.

In Greek mythology, Elysium (also Elysion) was a section
of the underworld. According to the ancients it was the final resting place
of the souls of the virtuous.
Many of the poets have interpreted this area in different
ways, according to their preference. Sometimes it is
imagined
as a place where heroes have continued their interests from their lives. Others
suppose it is a location filled with feasting, sport, song, and all kinds of
amusement.
Amongst the poets to interpret Elysium is Virgil, who
describes an encounter there between Aeneas and his father Anchises.
