English summary: Ever since Hades began ruling his empire of shadows, people yearned for a more attractive afterlife. In the beginning, though, only mythical heroes managed to reach the "Isles of the Blest". Desperately, people turned to gods and mythical heroes and chose Dionysus, Hercules, or Achilles as one's personal role model.
