There are 3 choices: Asphodel Meadows where ordinary souls who have not been neither especially good nor evil go.
If they were related to gods, or heroes, (but then that got loosened to if they had been righteous or heroic), they were sent to Elysian Fields.
Then, of course, for the worst of the worst--again, originally for the Titans or for other dangers to the Gods, (but later changed to if someone sinned against or p.o'ed a god), they were sent to Tartarus.
I heard one mention that Rhadamanthus judged the Asian souls, Aeacus the European souls and Minos the Greek souls, unfortunately, I don't recall the source and only read that once.
