__ The Underworld __

====**The Underworld was separated into two regions. Tartarus, a land of blackness where the wicked suffered eternal torments, was at the bottom of the Underworld. The residents of the horrible place were the Titans, who were guarded by extremely strong giants with a hundred arms each. The other part of Hades kingdom was Elysium, or the Elysian Fields. This was the place where the souls of good people went after death.**====

====**For one to enter the Underworld, the dead had to cross the river Styx. Charon, who was an eternal boatman, ferried the dead across the river. Hades’ multi-headed dog with a serpent's tail, Cerberus guarded the entrance of the Underworld to prevent anyone from leaving**. ====
