The Elysian Fields

Elysium, or the Elysian Fields, is a Greco-Roman paradise of the afterlife. It is ruled by Persephone, part-time goddess of the underworld; Elysium is said to exist either in the underworld, the far west, or sometimes on the moon. It is also called the Isle of the Blest, and is imbued everywhere with violet light; it is a land of apples as well, like Avalon and Eden. One may re-incarnate and return to Earth from the Elysian Fields, but only after first drinking from the River of Forgetfulness, the River Lethe.

They passed to the happy region of green and flowering glades,
the groves where the favored dwell, the blessed haunt of the heroes.
A purer ether enfolds them and clothes them in larger soft light;
a sun of their own shines above, their own stars call them to slumber.
Some find delight in wrestling in rings made soft by the grass;
some exercise well-trained muscles in arenas of golden sand.
Others delight in the steps of the dance or the singing of verses;
Orpheus, dressed as a bard, fits musical notes to the epic,
sweeping the lyre with this fingers, or plucking with ivory plectrum.

- Vergil, Aeneid
