This land, ruled by Rhadamanthys, according to Homer's Odyssey, lay somewhere near the river Oceanus.
The "Elysian Fields" would be closest to what most people consider "heaven" to be like.
The "Elysian Fields" was a wonderful place, where everything was delightful. There were soft green meadows, lovely groves, a delicious life giving air, sunlight that glowed a soft purple and everyone was happy and peaceful.
It was a place where the great and good lived after their deaths, men such as heroes, poets, priests and those who had helped others; a dwelling place of mortals made immortal through the favour of the Gods.
