In this episode, we discuss the mysterious, shadowy figure of Hades (Lord of the Underworld); the Greek perception of the afterlife and those who dwell in it; necromancy (the summoning of the dead to answer questions); where and how one can make a katabasis (decent) into the Underworld; and Homer's description of the abode of Hades in Book Eleven of the Odyssey and then comparing and contrasting that with the description found in Virgil's Aeneid Book Six, all while taking a tour of the Underworld, its major features, and its inhabitants Show Notes: http://www.thehistoryofancientgreece.com/2017/10/060-underworld.html Intro by Chad Davies of The Scientific Odyssey Podcast Website: http://thescientificodyssey.typepad.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thescientificodyssey Twitter: https://twitter.com/chaddavies
