By the way, the Alexandrians used the word "Hades" to describe the underworld when authoring the Septuagint, and that played a big role in linking the pagan death with the Christian one centuries later. Before someone argues that early Christians would have used direct Hebrew, the truth is that they rarely did until Jerome, and even he took the Hebrew texts with a grain of salt. All the Gospels quote the Septuagint.
