The Greek Hades was not a place of punishment.  Merely the final resting place for the dead.  Obviously nowhere near horrible enough for moralizing pricks like the judeo-christards.

Yeah, if you take more than a few minutes to do some research on the historicity of hell, that's going to be a good place to place a lot of other beliefs in the shitcan. Before the internet, and before the Gutenberg press, information made available to the general populace was minimal. Information is your friend, everywhere, all the time.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
