Tartarus

Tartarus in Greek mythology is a deep, gloomy part of the Underworld, serving as a prison for the wicked and mythological figures. It is both a place of punishment and a primordial deity personifying the deep abyss beneath the Earth. Unlike the common concept of the afterlife, Tartarus is reserved for those who have committed severe sins or defied the gods. Its realm is dark and foreboding, symbolizing chaos and the consequences of moral failure within Greek cosmology.
