* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' and it's sequel series ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'' does this all the time. Unsurprising considering the series is based on Greek mythology where this is also somewhat common.

It's worth noting that most trips are to the Underworld which contains areas of punishment, rewards, and neutrality depending on what one did in their life. Tartarus is a pit below the underworld and more equivalent to Hell, and is only visited once [[spoiler:when Percy and Annabeth fall in]].
