(adjective) A beautiful word, elysian is anything that connotes beauty, perfection, celestial divinity, bliss and overall paradise. If you are overwhelmed by a mystical presence the word exudes, you are not mistaken, it is inspired by Ancient Greek Mythology. The Elysian Islands or Elysium is a conception of the afterlife reserved for the gods, the righteous and the heroic. It is a heavenly realm assigned for their indulgence and enjoyment of life to the highest degree of euphoria.  (via wordsnquotes)
