In Greek mythology, the deepest, darkest part of the Underworld where the most evil beings and monsters are imprisoned.
From Greek 'Tartaros,' possibly derived from 'tarattein' (to confuse or disturb). The term evolved into a generic reference to the deepest hell or pit of punishment in Christian and literary traditions.
Tartarus was so deep and dark that it was considered the prison even for the Titans—beings who themselves ruled the world before the gods—making it the ultimate punishment in ancient Greek imagination.
