6. The Divisions Of Hades
Briefly seen during Hermes's trip to the Underworld are its divisions, laid out in beautiful detail by the talented background artists. In a video released by Powerhouse Animation, it's explained how the divisions of Hades were based on how they could get the five rivers of myth into one sprawling landscape (riverscape), and succeeded.
The shores where souls wait to be ferried into the afterlife, sometimes known as Erebus, shows a number of souls who weren't buried properly, one of which includes the minotaur of legend, who was likely never given the proper death rites as a monster.
Another portion of the Underworld includes the fields of Asphodel, widely considered the landing place of ordinary souls - depicted in turns as a lovely place full of flowers and peace, a place of plain neutrality where most souls lost their identities and simply existed in eternity, and even a place of senselessness.
Elysium and/or the blessed isles (depending on what source you look at) are seen in the heavenly sprawl, but the most well-known of the lot, Tartarus, the realm's place of punishment, rounds out the image of the Greek Underworld.
