I found mapping out the geography of the Greek underworld to be a bit of a challenge, as I couldn't find a lot of visual resources or maps to use as reference points. Still, it was a fascinating exercise to visualize the layout of the king and queen, judges, and three realms where shades end up, and it helped me to understand the overview of the journey of the newly deceased shades. Culture's beliefs of the afterlife are endlessly fascinating, and it makes me wonder how the Orphic cults, which believed in reincarnation, intersect with these beliefs of the shades ending up in specific realms.
