Do Hellenists believe in heaven?

Hades leaves in the underworld, which is basically hell, and the 12 gods live in mountain Olympus, which is the tallest mountain in Greece. But yeah mortal people can't go there

Thanks for the answer

Utopia literally translates to "not a place"

Actually theres two words as you said ou-topos means not a place but eu-topos which is almost identical means good place. Mortals can't live with the gods in olympus so therefore that makes you think if a perfect world even exists

Um no, eu-topos is not a word. Yes eu- means good, but you can't just make words up. Please don't present false facts if you don't know.

I don’t know that you can equate Catholic heaven to Greek realms.

Olympus isn’t heaven - it’s a place where Immortals live and mortals aren’t allowed. Whether they can’t actually enter or not I don’t know - Bellerophon was stopped from entering by Zeus zapping his horse, but Heracles seemed to only be able to enter after he died- both being demigods.

The underworld is where all the mortal souls go- and according to Homer it just sucks. Everyone is really boring and irritating and doesn’t know jack about what is going on in the mortal realm.

Given that people go to the underworld exactly as they died and also lose their humour/wit, there would be loads of people just milking about dresses as soldiers or whatever. It sounds like spending the rest of eternity trapped in a comic convention.

LOOOL I asked the same thing on quora and they told be about this place called elysium and elysian fields

They are not. The two words are in English homophonous, though, which might explain the usual conflation.

I had to read some of More's Utopia for a philosophy module as part of my undergrad. A difficult book in some ways, but cleverly done.

Elysium was a much later thing, and I reckon made up by Homer. Also, it wasn't for normal people - it was more like Valhalla - you only got to go if you died heroically in battle or something.
