In the Sibylline oracles, a curious hodgepodge of Greco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian elements, Hades again appears as the abode of the dead, and by way of folk etymology, it even derives Hades from the name Adam (the first man), saying it is because he was the first to enter there. [115] Owing to its appearance in the New Testament of the Bible, Hades also has a distinct meaning in Christianity. Brown, Robert (1844).
