What a word might have meant at another time in a different country can be irrelevant. Words change over time. For example the English word "truck" to us it means a large vehicle for transporting large or heavy loads. Originally it meant vegetables over time it morphed until it came to mean the vehicle that truck/vegetables were carried in.HADES in Greek Simply means UNSEEN REALM
it is the verb for SEE with a negating Alpha at the beginning
Unseen
The idea that Christ 'emptied' the 'good side' of Hades and brought the just OT Saints to heaven is sometimes called "The Harrowing of Hell"
Gehenna sometimes referred to a trash-dump outside town where refuse was burned
Tartarus was a Greek word for Torments
Apparently, in OT Times, Tartarus and Abraham's Bosom were both in HADES, divided by an impassable divide.
Sheol mainly meant grave, hole in the ground, and the Bible is ambiguous about dead people having no thoughts or not
Samuel was called up from Sheol and talked with King Saul, it was WRONG but REAL for him to be called up by Witch of Endor
The HELL you say!!
