The seventh heaven The Greeks, like later the Christians, believed in the reincarnation of souls. According to Plato, the dead soul first had to go to the realm of the dead, drink from the River of Oblivion “Lethe”, and after a while came back to the surface to start a new life. This new life began with a chariot, drawn by a white and a black horse. The white horse wanted to pull the car up, the black horse wanted to pull it down. The soul was the driver and had to try to get as far as possible up. There were seven different layers. The layers of slaves, women, peasants, artisans, soldiers, merchants, politicians, philosophers, and finally the seventh layer of the Gods, = the seventh heaven. Back to list!
