The afterlife has always been a soul prison. Even for the good souls. Defining a prison as a place into which you are involuntarily entered, and from which there is no escape. Ever. Probably not even from the _heat death of the universe. _ I hope you can find something to do besides count the zeros after the first trillion years, assuming time even means anything anymore. No amount of gilding makes it anything but a cage. _SCREW THAT. _

I d give this around five stars this is a must see destination, but mostly because I got the best spots in the house. Wouldn t want to be those in the lower decks, not sure why they chose those spots of all places, they probably give this place -10 stars. Let s just say that once you come, you ll never be able to leave

I brought foes to their knees in Phonesia, breezed through Gaza to Giza. Had the Balkans, Persia, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan in my expansion pack! Alexander the Great
Edit: Kudos! Greek for the glory I brought, from winning every single war that I fought!

Anyone remember the episode of Dinosaurs where the grandma kept dying and reporting back about the afterlife so she wound up on TV selling condos in the afterlife? This reminds me of that episode. Good fun.

It seems that the idea of the underworld isn t about physical torture but more of a psychological one.
Hope is still there, but your efforts remain futile and despair is the everlasting feeling

Another mythological Greek figure known to have done a similar gruesome act was Lycaon - king of Arcadia - who was then punished by Zeus by being turned into a wolf.

I was bummed when you guys were making less and less greek mythology videos, these videos are getting rarer by the day! I was glad to see you guys are making them again.

Water from the river of Lethe was used as a plot point in the So weird series finale when the Philips received an amphora in the mail and it caused them to forget Annie

Achilles expressions are the most realistic expressions anyone would make when they just died and suddenly some lady started to give you a tour you didn't ask for.

The narrator voice and tone is so inviting, you d think that s an Ad or a virtual tour for a college or a sorority
But Nope, it s the underworld

(not sponsored) but if you like Greek Mythology and the Hades, might I recommend playing the game Hades? Great game, would recommend.
reply

is it normal to imagine that one part of the underworld would look a bit like a reception in an airport or am i just insane in the head
reply

Heel boy!
It was all Cumulous from there, nothing nimbus about this awesome trip to the underworld.
Hope to visit someday!

Achilleus expressions throughout this video are great. He doesn't have to say a single word, but you always know how he feels.
reply

Since Romans have converted Greek myth under new names, I wonder if the stories have also been changed or not or forgotten.
