Asphodel Meadows

Uncommon card · No. 125153

In Greek mythology, the Asphodel Meadows or Asphodel Fields (Ancient Greek: ἀσφοδελὸς λειμών, romanized: asphodelòs leimṓn) are a section of the ancient Greek underworld where most ordinary souls are sent to live after death. They are one of the three main divisions of the underworld along with Elysium, where righteous souls are rewarded, and Tartarus, where vicious souls are punished. In his Odyssey, Homer locates the Fields of Asphodel close to the Land of dreams. He further refers to them as the dwelling place of the spirits of men who have abandoned their earthly labors.
