    Does Zoroastrianism not figure into this somewhere? It’s generally considered an influence on Judaism that is older than Judaism & ancient Greek tradition. They also have an idea of divine justice in the afterlife with concepts roughly corresponding to heaven, purgatory, hell.

    Neither Zoroastrianism nor Judaism consider “hell” a place of eternal torment, more a place where spirits confront their actions to cleanse & purify themselves before reuniting with the divine.
