'Elisio' in the Greek

On February 16th, 2008 paula says:

'Elisio' in the Greek religion was the place in the afterworld where 'the just and the righteous' people went after death. The romans called it Campi Elisi, that is Elysian Fields in English.

I hope this helps.

Love,

Paula is right, dear Stefan.

I think of Elysian Fields as another name for Heaven. I found a little more in a dictionary:

Elysian fields
(ĭlĭzh'ən) or Elysium (ĭlĭzh'ēəm) , in Greek religion and mythology, happy otherworld for heroes favored by the gods. Identified with the Fortunate Isles or Isles of the Blest, Elysium was situated in the distant west, at the edge of the world.
