Tartarus is a deep abyss in Greek mythology, often considered a place of punishment for the wicked. It is located beneath the Underworld and is sometimes described as a dungeon of torment. In ancient texts, it is depicted as a dark and gloomy region where souls face eternal suffering for their misdeeds. In addition to being a place of punishment, Tartarus is also associated with the primordial deity Tartarus, who personifies this abyss. According to mythology, it is as deep as the heavens are high, serving as a prison for the Titans after their defeat by the Olympian gods.
