Did the Greek version of the Old Testament translate "sheol" into various words such as "pit" and "grave" or did it leave them as "sheol"? How did it deal w/ this Hebrew word? Thanks for your guys' help.

In the Old Testament, the word for which hell is given in the King James Version is sheol, a word whose root meaning is unseen. The King James Version translates sheol as hell 31 times, the grave 31 times (since someone in the grave is unseen), and the pit three times.
