Editing Elysium (section)

===Books===
In [[David Gemmell]]'s Parmennion series (''Lion of Macedon'' and ''Dark Prince'') and his Troy trilogy, his characters refer to Elysium as the "Hall of Heroes".

In [[Masami Kurumada]]'s mythologically themed ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' comic books, the Elysium is the setting of the final chapters of the ''Hades'' arc. In it, the Saints, the warriors of [[Athena]]'s army, traverse the Underworld to defeat its ruler, the ruthless Hades and rescue their kidnapped goddess. The Saints discover that the only way to kill Hades is to destroy his true body, which has rested in Elysium since the ages of myth. The Saints then invade Elysium, which Kurumada depicts as described in Greek mythology, and carry on their mission after a difficult battle with the deity.

In the novel, ''This Ruler'', the story takes place at Elysium Hills High School. It is a reference to the mythology that surrounds American education and in particular high school. It also alludes to the teenagers, in the book, being Greek heroes.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Duff |first1=Mark |title=This Ruler |date=2019 |publisher=Mark Duff |location=USA |isbn=9780578476315}}</ref>
