The literal translation of Les Champs-Elysées is Elysian Fields.According to Greek mythology, there are three divisions of Hades. At the trivium, where three roads meet, souls are judged, returned to the Fields of Asphodel if they are neither virtuous nor evil, sent by the road to Tartarus if they are impious or evil, or sent to Elysium (Elysian Fields) with the heroic or blessed.
"Men lead there an easier life than anywhere else in the world, for in Elysium there falls not rain, nor hail, nor snow, but Oceanus breathes ever with a West wind that sings softly from the sea, and gives fresh life to all men." —Homer's Odyssey, Book III
