Elysium

Elysian Fields {i-lizh'-uhn}. In Greek mythology Elysium, also known as Elysian Fields or the Isles of the Blessed, was the dwelling place after  death of virtuous mortals or those given immortality by divine favor. The poets Homer, Hesiod, and Pindar variously  describe this happy land as being on the banks of the river  Oceanus at the edge of the Earth. In Vergil, Elysium was  part of HADES.


There is a wealth of knowledge in the web pages that I have created. These pages have been painstakingly compiled to help a student with his or her literary studies. The information found on these pages, however, should not and must NOT be used as a substitute for original thinking.

The notes are not a substitute for reading the text itself or for the classroom discussion of the text.

Please, take Forrest's advice
