Congratulations, you're dead!
A tour of Hades in Greek mythology.
And no, you are not the first to arrive here, nor the last. Fortunately, although you remember nothing about your life, you are a rare case and you will not wander alone. A mysterious, witty, and incurably cynical Guide takes on the task of showing you all the places and procedures: Charon, the Acheron, the Judgment of Souls, Tartarus, the Field of Asphodels, and the Elysian Fields. He knows much more than he lets on and has his reasons for not revealing it.
Along the way, you will encounter figures from history and mythology, see how the Underworld really works, and at some point, you will have to face the hardest truth: that of your own life. Follow the Guide, see Hades as envisioned by the ancient Greeks, and prepare for the memories that will return and the decisions you will need to make.
The dark Hades awaits you, and as much as you may not believe it now, due to the shock, he may have much to teach you! A tour of Hades in Greek mythology. The journey of an anonymous soul who has just died and awakens in an unknown, dark place, without memory, is our literary vehicle for a journey through the Underworld as imagined by the ancient Greeks through the ages. Every stop in this tour reveals a piece of ancient Greek mythology about life after death, as well as a piece of the history of the soul itself.
