| ~ Hades about the Underworld. |
The Underworld is an evil realm in Disney's Hercules based loosely on the afterworld envisioned in Greek mythology, however like most of Disney's Hercules lore, it is re-imagined as a parallel to Hell of Judeo-Christian traditions (in classical mythology, it was more akin to limbo). The Underworld is also the abode of Hades, the lord of the dead and would-be-usurper of Olympus. The Underworld is also home to a number of demons such as Pain, Panic and Cerberus.
The Underworld has a large river of souls (most likely a reference of the River Styx) who continually try to drag others in, desperate for release - this river of souls ultimately leads to a spiraling vortex of souls (as seen in the end of the movie) where none, not even a god, can escape - doomed to spiral down into eternity with the spirits of the dead.
