Why hell stinks of sulfur : mythology and geology of the underworld
When people go looking for hell, they go underground. Dante, Aeneas, and Odysseus all journeyed beneath the earth to find the underworld, a place where the dead are tortured according to their sins. Buffy the Vampire Slayer had to deal with a huge underground pit infested with demons below her high school called the Hellmouth. And when Homer Simpson ate the forbidden donut for which he'd sold his soul to the devil, he was sucked through a fiery hole in the ground. Though humans actually haven't gone more than 7.5 miles into the earth, we associate this mysterious underground realm with darknes.
