Babel - Elysium - Elysian Fields
Elysium. In Greek mythology, the abode of the blessed, paradise. Situated at the end of the world it is here that those chosen by the gods are sent to.
Virgil's Elysium knows perpetual spring and shady groves, with its own sun and lit by its own stars: solemque suum, sua sidera norunt (Aeneid, 6.541).
The Elysian fields, or sometimes Elysian plains, were the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous....The Elysian Fields lay on the western margin of the earth, by the encircling stream of Oceanus, and there the mortal relatives of the king of the gods were transported, without tasting death, to enjoy an immortality of bliss (Odyssey 4.563). [Wikipedia]
In Christianity, Elysium is equated with heaven.
Elysian Fields is also part of the 14th fairway on the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland, a street in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City where several of the city's best hotels and restaurants are located and in Paris the famous Champs Élysées. permanent link
