Real World Influence
Wikipedia:Tartarus In Greek mythology, Tartarus is both a deity and a place in the underworld. Tartarus the Deity: Tartarus is considered to be a primordial force or deity alongside entities such as the Earth, Night and Time. In ancient Orphic sources Tartarus is also the unbounded first-existing entity from which the Light and the cosmos are born. In the Greek poet Hesiod's Theogony (c. late 8th century BC), Tartarus was the third of the primordial deities, following after Chaos and Gaia (Earth), and preceding Eros, and was the father, by Gaia, of the monster Typhon. According to Hyginus, Tartarus was the offspring of Aether and Gaia. Tartarus the Place: In Greek mythology, Tartarus is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans. Tartarus is the place where, according to Plato's Gorgias (c. 400 BC), souls are judged after death and where the wicked received divine punishment.
