Thayer's Expanded Definition

Ἅιδης, ᾅδης, , ὁ (for the older Ἀΐδης, which Homer uses, and this from the alpha privative and ἰδεῖν, not to be seen (cf. Lob. Path. Element. 2:6f)); in the classics

1. a proper name, Hades, Pluto, the god of the lower regions; so in Homer always.

2. an appellative, Orcus, the nether world, the realm of the dead (cf: Theocritus, idyll. 2,159 schol. τήν τοῦ ᾅδου κρούει πύλην. τουτ' ἔστιν ἀποθανεῖται. In the Sept. the Hebrew שְׁאול is almost always rendered by this word (once by θάνατος, 2 Samuel 22:6); it denotes, therefore, in Biblical Greek Orcus, the infernal regions, a dark (Job 10:21) and dismal place (but cf. γέεννα and παράδεισος) in the very depths of the earth (Job 11:8; Isaiah 57:9; Amos 9:2, etc.; see ἄβυσσος), the common receptacle of disembodied spirits: Luke 16:23; εἰς ᾅδου namely, δόμον, Acts 2:27, 31, according to a very common ellipsis, cf. Winers Grammar, 592 (550) (Buttmann, 171 (149)); (but L T Tr WH in Acts 2:27 and T WH in both verses read εἰς ᾅδην; so the Sept. Psalm 15:10 ()); πύλαι ᾅδου, Matthew 16:18 (πυλωροί ᾅδου, Job 38:17; see πύλη); κλείς τοῦ ᾅδου, Revelation 1:18; Hades as a power is personified, 1 Corinthians 15:55 (where L T Tr WH read θάνατε for R G ᾅδῃ (cf. Acts 2:24 Tr marginal reading)); Revelation 6:8; Revelation 20:13f. Metaphorically, ἕως ᾅδου καταβαίνειν or) καταβιβάζεσθαι to (go or) be thrust down into the depth of misery and disgrace: Matthew 11:23 (here L Tr WH καταβαίνειν); Luke 10:15 (here Tr marginal reading WH text καταβαίνειν). (See especially Boettcher, De Inferis, under the word ἀϊδής in Greek index. On the existence and locality of Hades cf. Greswell on the Parables, Appendix, chapter x, vol. v, part ii, pp. 261-406; on the doctrinal significance of the word see the BB. DD. [Hades] and E. R. Craven in Lange on Revelation, pp. 364-377.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Without suggesting that there is anything to be called a real parallel with Revelation 21:8, it may be worth while to quote P Oxy I. 33iv. 3 ff. (late ii/A.D.), an interesting papyrus describing an interview between M. Aurelius or Commodus and a rebel, τίς ἤδη τὸν δεύτερόν μου ᾅδην προσκυνοῦντα καὶ τοὺς πρὸ ἐμοῦ τελευτήσαντας. . . μετεκαλέσατο, i.e. ";facing death for the second time."; The word does not appear in the indices of any papyrus collection, so far as non-literary documents go : the magic papyrus, P Leid Vvii. 30 (οὗ ἡ γῆ ἀκούσασα ἐλεύσεται, ὁ ᾅδης ἀκούων ταράσσεται) will serve as exception to prove the rule. Except for its appropriation from the literary language to represent Sheol in the LXX, we should probably not find it in NT. It is significant that Paul substitutes θάνατε for ᾅδη when quoting Hosea 13:14 in 1 Corinthians 15:55. Prof. W. M. Calder tells us the word is common on tombstones in Asia Minor—doubtless a survival of its use in the old Greek religion.
