Is the concept of hell derived from the greek idea of hades and the underworld?

its a mixture of greek, egyptian, and judaic concepts. it was really fleshed out later on when people put the ideas of the old testaments ideas of death, being maligned with gods will, and the greeks ideas of social justice and law/authority being taken to the extreame. (it was not a common belief among early christians)
