I have been reading the Odyssey and several times they have mentioned "Hell" once in the contents of sending somebody to Hell and once when they are planning to go to Hades they go on to say that they must go to "Hell".
I was not aware that Hell even existed in these times as it was much before christianity and is not spelt the same as the Norse "Hel" nor would I think that a Nordic term would apear in a Greek epic.
Does anybody know about this? could it just be an incorect translation for Hades that they have ocasional stuffed up or is "Hell" an interchangable word for Hades.
