ELYSIAN ROCK MEANING
The adjective “elysian” describes a blissful state, like the one most people hope to enjoy.
The word Elysian comes from the idyllic Greek mythological place called Elysian Fields. Although the term is now often equated with a paradise, the Greek Elysian Fields were a heavenly resting place to go in the afterlife. The concept was probably originally conceived to encourage valor in soldiers during battle. Nowadays, people tend to use elysian to describe any heavenly scene.
