Ancient name for a crater near Cumae, region Campagna, northwest of Naples ... Within this crater is Lake Avernus, and is portrayed so in the Aeneid of Virgil as an entrance to the underworld. On the shores of the lake is the Cumaen sybill and the entrance of an ancient tunnel leading towards Cumae, where the sanctuary was located ....  During the civil war between Octavian andAntony, Agrippa tried to turn the lake into a military fort The port built still remains under the lake surface ...... 

The term Avernus was also used by ancient naturalists for certain lakes, grottos, and other places which infect the area with poisonous steams and vapors ... The fumes of Lake Avernus were supposed to be so fuckin noxious that birds who flew over would fall down dead
