Since entering high school, I’ve participated in many organizations that have sought to better not only our school but also the community as a whole. For example, since my freshman year, I have been a part of the Goliad Student Council. By being a member of such a club, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to interact with Goliad’s community through various means. I’ve painted the faces of children at town festivals, cleaned the town auditorium for auctions, and I’ve handled sports concession stands for hours on end. Through each of these activities, along with the others I’ve done for student council, I’ve managed to involve myself with multiple residents of Goliad while also working towards a fulfilling goal.

As with the other cultures, the ancient Greek perspective on the afterlife shares similarities with the other views of life after death, but also contains its differences.

The conception of the Greek underworld can be traced to the culture of the people at the time and shifts in perspective can be explained by shifts in beliefs and values.

The Myth of Er was a brief religious and philosophical closing in Plato’s The Republic and is described by Socrates. A hero named Er is found dead on the battle field but after twelve days his body is unspoiled. Yet while his body appeared dead he was having an otherworldly journey. Wherein there appeared two destinations after death up into the sky for the good, and down into the earth for the wicked. On his funeral pyre Er awakens and recounts this tale, which had a lasting impact on Greek and future religions.

Forget that it was a myth in told by Socrates; it was in whatever light, a personal experience with no more legitimacy other than one person’s word.

Death is an inevitable and inescapable fact of human life, which is the greatest lesson Gilgamesh learns. Gilgamesh is bitter that only the gods can live forever and says as much when Enkidu warns him away from their fight with Humbaba. Life is short, the two warriors tell each other on their way to the deadly confrontation in the Cedar Forest, and the only thing that lasts is fame. But when Enkidu is cursed with an inglorious, painful death, their bravado rings hollow. Shamash, the sun god, consoles Enkidu by reminding him how rich his life has been, but though Enkidu finally resigns himself to his fate, Gilgamesh is terrified by the thought of his own. Mesopotamian theology offers a vision of an afterlife, but it gives scant comfort—the dead spend their time being dead.

Death is unescapable. Humans will forever share the experience of living here on earth to departing into the unknown. When analyzing the arts of the early civilizations such as ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, and Greece, a common aspect is the ancient people’s response to human mortality, which is the idea that life should be fully cherished.

After a series of confrontations with various monsters in the underworld, the deceased would then encounter Ma’at, the goddess of truth and justice, who weighed the entrant’s heart against the weight of a feather. If the heart weighed heavier than the feather, the deceased was found guilty of transgressions and the devourer got to feast on the deceased. However, there was even a get out jail free spell to escape this fate.

The egyptian underworld was a dangerous region that one’s spirit had to go through in order to reach afterlife. Throughout the underworld journey, the deceased’s spirit would have to contend with gods, strange creatures and gatekeepers to reach Osiris and the Hall of Final Judgment. There, they would implore their case for entry into the afterlife. The underworld is ruled by the god Osiris. He was believed to be the god of the dead, after being murdered by his own brother Seth and being revived again. For this reason he came to symbolise the hope for eternal life that every Egyptian held. The hall of judgement is the final destination after the trip through the underworld.
