Dans la
mythologie grecque, les Enfers (au pluriel) désignent le royaume des morts. C'est un lieu souterrain où règne le dieu
Hadès (du
grec ancien / Háidês), raison pour laquelle on parle souvent de royaume d'Hadès ou Hadès tout court. Le concept des enfers de la mythologie grecque n'a rien à voir avec celui du
christianisme. Les Romains ont donné à Hadès le nom de
Pluton. Il règne sur les Inferni.
