Trivia

• The Underworld is based on the legendary afterlife from Greek Mythology.
• The Netherworld is supposed a realm between life and death. In a way, the Underworld is also a sort of limbo, and the souls that go there usually either move on to Mount Olympus or someplace far worse.
• Regina nicknames it "Underbrooke", due to its uncanny resemblance to Storybrooke.
  • Hades made the Underworld resemble Storybrooke to impress Zelena, who wanted to cast the curse.
