So, The House of Hades is an underground temple in Epirus, Greece. That's where the Doors of Death are, in the mortal world, right?
Anyway, I have done some pointless research. So here bạn go:
I found out that the temple is called The Necromanteion, which means Oracle of Death. It's a temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone.
The site was believed to be the Doors to Hades, which lead to the realm of the dead (kinda like the Doors of Death).
People used to come here to call upon their dead ancestors and talk to them. O.o
According to tradition, the temple was located on the banks of the River Acheron.
The site is also at the meeting point of the Acheron, Pyriphlegethon and Cocytus rivers.
Let's learn about Acheron! :D
Back when Greece was the centre of power, the newly-dead would be ferried across this river bởi Charon, in order to enter the Underworld. The souls that were neutral, sat on its banks.
The River Acheron is one of the five rivers of the Thế giới ngầm and was known as the river of pain.
According to some scriptures, it was a place of healing, where souls were cleansed of sin.
Before Acheron became a river, he was the son of Helios and Demeter, hoặc Helios and Gaia. During a contest between the Titans and Zeus, Acheron refreshed the Titans with drinks, so he got turned into a river of the Underworld. Fun.
Acheron's son, Ascalaphus, was the orchardist of Hades. He told the other gods that Persephone had eaten a trái thạch lựu, quả lựu in the Underworld. He was punished bởi being changed into a screech owl, becoming the familiar bird of Hades.
What about the River Pyriphlegethon?
I'm gonna call it Phlegethon from now on. -.-'
Phlegethon is a river of ngọn lửa, chữa cháy hoặc boiling blood, which coils around the Earth and flows into the depths of Tartarus.
It is parallel to the River Styx.
It is đã đưa ý kiến that the goddess Styx fell in tình yêu with Phlegethon, but she was consumed bởi his flames and sent to the Underworld. Eventually, when Hades allowed her river to flow through the Underworld, Styx was reunited with Phlegethon.
(I'm not sure how true that is, since she was married to Pallas and bore him children, but stranger things have happened).
The people who committed crimes against their fellow men are punished in this river, along with tyrants and murderers. Their punishment is to be sunk in the flowing, boiling blood because they caused hot blood to flow when they committed violent deeds.
The river is guarded bởi centaurs, who force souls to remain at their level.
Anyway, back to the Necromanteion.
In Homer's Odyssey, the House of Hades was also described as the entrance bởi which Odysseus made his nekyia (a rite bởi which ghosts were called upon and questioned about the future).
When people wanted to speak to the dead here, they ate a meal of broad beans, barley bread, oysters and a narcotic compound (like heroin). D:
Then they participated in a cleansing ceremony and sacrificed sheep.
After this, they would descend through a series of underground corridors, leaving offerings as they passed through a number of iron gates.
The priest/death oracle would then pose a series of các câu hỏi and chant prayers. The people would then see him rise from the floor and begin to fly around the temple, bởi the use of theatrical cranes. Weirdos.
I have no idea what happened next. He would probably come back down and tell them he has been possessed bởi the spirit they were calling and the spirit would answer their các câu hỏi via him.
The site was burned down bởi the Romans, but its remains can still be seen.

I have a book about Greek Mythology. It talks about Giải cứu thế giới and monster and of course the gods. But I notice one story was similar to Frank Zhang.
I'm going to summarize it for you.
A women name Althaea, daughter of King Thestius and Eurythemis.Althaea had five sons, but one named Meleager was cursed when he was a baby. The Fates visited Althaea and told her that the wood in the hearth is her son Meleager's life span. After the Fates leaved, Althaea took the wooded from the hearth and placed it in a wooden chest.
After many years have past, Meleager killed his two brothers in an argument. So Althaea took the wood of her son life span and placed it in the fire. Then, Meleager died.
But, it has also đã đưa ý kiến Meleager was mention as one of the Argonauts like Frank.
Differences:
In RR story, it was Hera that warned them.
Second, Frank mother is not going to kill him.
Frank might die in the Giant War.

Yes I know it's a little too early but I got to thinking some possibilities.
1: Apparently, Rick đã đưa ý kiến that some of the 7 won't be returning the US. It could either mean
A) They didn't get on the ship in time
B) They died.
2: The book title: House of Hades.
Let's take a look at the titles so far and see who they revolve around.
Mất tích Hero=Jason
Son of Neptune=Percy
Mark of Athena= Annabeth
I am suspecting that it will revolve around either Hazel hoặc Nico.
3: Relationships:
I'm hoping there is some break-ups because I think it will make the book thêm interesting I think. Like if Gaea happened to have someone to posses Jason and break up with Piper. hoặc Frank to break-up with Hazel.
This right here is a what-if and probably will NEVER happen. Reyna and Octavian. Let THAT sink in.
Adios for now. Hope to write some thêm các bài viết and hopefully soon a cover analysis.
Buh Bye
