Biography of elysian fields the goddess
The ancients often distinguished two Elysian realms--the islands of the Blessed and the Lethean fields of Haides.
The first of these--also known as the White Island or the Islands of the Blessed--was an afterlife realm reserved for the heroes of myth.
It was an island paradise located in the far western stream of the river Okeanos (Oceanus) ruled by the Titan-King Kronos (Cronus) or Rhadamanthys, son of Zeus.
The second Elysium was an underworld realm separated from the gloom of Haides by the river Lethe.
Its pleasant fields were promised as an afterlife to initiates of the Mysteries who had lived virtuous lives. T
