description Homer's "Asphodel Meadow," "where the spirits of the dead dwell," has throughout Western literary history been envisioned as a pleasant and even desirable place. This was the impression among many of the ancient Greek poets and Homeric commentators, who understood a Greek word that means "flowery," "fragrant," "fertile," and "lush," and who even referred to the asphodel meadow as a "paradise."
