River Styx[]
Also known as the River of Death. This river carries the dead to the Underworld where they will spend the rest of eternity in either the Elysian Fields if they were good or Tartarus if they were evil. In the episode of the animated series Hercules and the River Styx it is revealed that the river is also a Goddess that only reveals herself to those who wield Poseidon's Trident. It is also revealed that the river marks the border of Hades' domain. Technically Styx is in fact a nymph, and will live for as long as her river flows.
Tartarus[]
A deep, dark and sinister god known in Roman as Orcus, Egyptian as Duat and Norse as Hel who is the living core of the Underworld and brother of Gaia (Earth) and Nyx (night). He is the place where the souls of the wicked and evil are sent and also where Zeus imprisoned most of the Titans and a giant Cyclops after he ended their reign of destruction.
Tartarus is a dark and ominous dungeon-like place located deep beneath the ocean. A few sharp rocks can be seen rising from the sea where he is and there is also a small island filled with jagged mountains where the Titan Prometheus is imprisoned and each day a giant eagle comes to eat his liver.
Elysian Fields[]

It is a paradise filled with beautiful valleys and temples.This part of the Underworld is protected by Zeus, but Hades attempted to win it from Zeus in a bet in the episode Hercules and the Driving Test, but he lost the bet however and in Greek Mythology Cronus is the the Ruled Elysian Fields.
