History
W.I.P.

Eusebeia
Also known as "fear of the gods" is the actions that one does to make the gods happy, this goes from rituals to everyday behavior. This concept inspired many other religions since the is the principle of well behaving.

Arete
One of the main principles of Hellenism and Greek philosophy, Arate is the idea that self cultivation and well behavior is going to be rewarded by making your life better.

Xenia
Hospitality, respect and general generosity is one of the principles of civic behavior and Arate. Good behavior with other people is a virtude that will get you rewarded, this is other of the most influential aspects of Hellenic religions that influenced others.

Tartarus
Is the place were the titans were send to suffer. In some schools is a god.

Underworld
Also called Hades by Hellenized Judaismcube and  Second temple Judeocube, is the place were the spirit of a person is separated from his body after death. A huge misconception is that is the equivalent of the Christian hell while in reality the underworld is the place were everyone goes after dying. Those who are punished were those considered "unworthy" but the considered as righteous live a good life. This is the kingdom of Hades who is not inherently evil, in facts, is described as altruist.

Elysium
