THREAD for @FolkloreThurs’s #Underworld + #underground theme: Katabasis (descent to an underworld) is common in classical myth + lit, e.g. Odysseus, Aeneas, and Orpheus visit the Underworld. But this mythological theme is also prominent in fantasy literature:
#FolkloreThursday
The Romans believed there were several entrances to the #Underworld. One was Lake Avernus, which JMW Turner painted, with Aeneas consulting the Sibyl about how to make the descent to see his father (#Virgil, Aeneid 6) #FolkloreThursday
