I think Hades is not the same as Hell. Hades is where all the dead go in Greek Mythology. Hell is where only sinners go to be tortured for eternity in modern Christianity.
Yup. In Greek mythology the underworld is split into different parts. There’s a part where heroes go, a part where average people wander around for eternity, Tartarus where the titans are held and then there’s a part where people are published. I think Sisyphus is punished in the underworld but I could be misremembering.
Is Christianity the only religion where The dead are tortured and punished forever? Most religions it’s more like a purgatory or some whole other realm

Edit: punished not published.
So like…if you’re an amateur writer in life, after death there’s still hope to go pro?
Hadn’t even noticed the autocorrect fuck up. Thanks, going to leave it for your joke to work.
If anyone would like a proper education on the levels of Hades, play Hades!
It was actually the Rick Riordan books that I learnt that from.
