What other places in religious mythos are similar to Erebus?

One place in religion that is comparable to Erebus is hell. In the Christian religion, hell is a place of misery where all sinners must go. Hades is the same thing. Hades is divided into 2 places: Erebus and Tarterus. In Dante's Inferno, hell is divided into 7 circles of suffering, just like Hades.

What are some of the qualities that make Erebus suitable for the dead?

The underworld, Erebus, is for the dead that lived an unsatisfying and sinful life; they had to pass this region after their death. These people belong in this region of misery and pain.

Erebus is both a God and a region. What similar qualities do they share?

Erebus, as a god, is the God of Darkness and the Son of Chaos. On the other hand, Erebus is an underworld in which the dead are mandated to pass through after their death; the meaning of Erebus is “darkness.” The god and the underworld are alike in which they both represent a form of darkness. Erebus is a God of Darkness whilst the underworld is a region of dark caves and crevices.

Even though this video is mainly about Hades, it is relevant to the underworld of Erebus.

Allusion

For our allusion, we chose Hades. Hades is the ruler of the Underworld, where Erebus is located; also, Hades is another name for the underworld. When you think of Hades, you think of the underworld, A.K.A. Erebus.
