Fields of sorrow

The Fields of sorrow or Fields of mourning (Latin: Lugentes campi)[1] are an afterlife location that is mentioned by Virgil during Aeneas' trip to the underworld. In his Aeneid, Virgil locates the fields of sorrow close to the rough waters of the river Styx and describes them as having gloomy paths and dark myrtle groves. He refers to them as a place where souls recall their earthly griefs and mourn for unfulfilled love.[2]
