Elysium

Elysium was the final reward for heroes, the righteous, and those chosen by the gods. Located at the western edge of the world (or, in later versions, within the underworld itself), it was a land of perpetual spring, where gentle breezes blew and the souls of the blessed lived in eternal comfort.

Homer described it as a place where "life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor great storm, nor ever rain, but always Ocean sends up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind to refresh men." Heroes like Achilles, Menelaus, and Cadmus were said to dwell there.

In later Greek thought, Elysium became part of a more elaborate geography of the afterlife. The righteous dead might be reincarnated three times, and if they achieved Elysium in each life, they would be sent to the Isles of the Blessed — the ultimate paradise, ruled by Kronos, who had been released from Tartarus to govern this gentle realm.
