The Greek and Latin kingdom of the dead, Hades, was inhabited by the shadows of the dead, by bloodless duplicates of what once were beings in full force. The shadow is an image, a representation of the object that casts a shadow, but it is an incomplete representation of it, a silhouette in which only the outline is represented.
