First sentence: EVERY CULTURE that has a concept of hell locates it in a different place, although most agree that hell lies somewhere underground, beneath or in the earth.
Description: "In this fascinating guide, author Richard Craze examines the many mythologies of hell, from the Hades of the ancient Greeks to the vast, honeycombed hell of the Swahilis. Denizens of the underworld include Lucifer, Osiris, the benevolent God of the Underworld, and Persephone, along with demon hordes, sinners, and fallen angels."--Jacket.
