Elysium

Elysium or the Elysian Fields (Ancient Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Ēlýsion pedíon) is a conception of the afterlife that developed over time and was maintained by some Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.

The Elysian Fields were, according to Homer, located on the western edge of the Earth by the stream of Okeanos. In the time of the Greek oral poet Hesiod, Elysium would also be known as the Fortunate Isles or the Isles (or Islands) of the Blessed, located in the western ocean at the end of the earth. The Isles of the Blessed would be reduced to a single island by the Thebean poet Pindar, describing it as having shady parks, with residents indulging their athletic and musical pastimes.

Elysium (volcanic province)

Elysium, located in the Elysium and Cebrenia quadrangles, is the second largest volcanic region on Mars, after Tharsis. The region includes the volcanoes (from north to south) Hecates Tholus, Elysium Mons and Albor Tholus. The province is centered roughly on Elysium Mons at 25°00′N 147°12′E / 25.0°N 147.2°E / 25.0; 147.2. Elysium Planitia is a broad plain to the south of Elysium, centered at 3.0° N, 154.7° E. Another large volcano, Apollinaris Mons, lies south of Elysium Planitia and is not part of the province. Besides having large volcanoes, Elysium has several areas with long trenches, called fossa or fossae (plural) on Mars. They include the Cerberus Fossae, Elysium Fossae, and Hephaestus Fossae.

Elysium (building)

Elysium (also known as 54 Clarke) is an approved residential skyscraper to be located in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The project was developed by the Melbourne-based Matrix & Cube group and designed by BKK Architects. Rising to a height of 243.8 metres (800 feet), Elysium will contain up to 288 residential apartments, across 75 levels, making it one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne. The design is notable for its slender appearance – a width of 12 metres (39 feet) at its narrowest – which has earned it a reputation for being one of the "skinniest skyscraper [proposals]" in Melbourne.

First proposed in 2011, the development on 54-56 Clarke Street received approval twice in 2013 by then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy; initially in February, 2013, which was later challenged through Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), and then subsequently in December, 2013. A construction time-frame is yet to be announced.
