The righteous men and women lived during the period of the Old Testament .
`` The term `` '' Harrowing of Hell '' '' refers not merely to the idea that Christ descended into Hell , as in the Creed , but to the rich tradition that developed later , asserting that he triumphed over inferos , releasing Hell 's captives , particularly Adam and Eve , and the righteous men and women whose stories are recorded in the Septuagint.
