The Underworld is a term collectively used to refer to the afterlife realms belonging to various mythogies and pagan religions. Unlike Hell or any part of "Satan's Kingdom", the underworlds aren't necessary a bad place, just a place for souls to hang out after they passed away. Heck, most underworlds are practically the same as the living world, except that nearly all of the inhtabitants are, well, dead and they are forced to practice a certain religion for eternity. That do make me wonder: Where do the atheists go after they die anyway, since apparently neither God or gods would take them in?

The Underworld, also known as Afterlife, is an umbrella name for all non-Abrahamic realms where people are judged and live in the afterlife. Not necessarily the Underworld is a bad or evil place, like Hell, because there are places like Hades that have a section for the bad ones, and for the good ones, which is the Elysium.
