Elysium

Elysium (Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Elysion pedion) is a concept from Greek mythology referring to a paradise, a place of ideal happiness and blessedness. Originally, elysium was the final resting place of the souls of heroes and virtuous individuals. It was a realm of perpetual springtime, abundant harvests, and joyful activities. Later iterations of the concept expanded to encompass a more generalized afterlife for the blessed, irrespective of their earthly deeds. The location of elysium varied in mythology, sometimes described as islands, and other times as a location in the underworld, or even the heavens.
