The residents of Tartarus were subjected to punishments which fit their crimes, all except the first residents of the chasm. The one-eyed Cyclopes and the 100-handed Hecatonchires were the children of Gaia and Uranus along with the Titans.
Cronus and many of the other Titans were banished to Tartarus, though Prometheus, Epimetheus, and female Titans such as Metis were spared.
Infuriated, Hades let out Zeus and Poseidon out of Tartarus.
Tantalus a king punished in Hades by having to stand in water that recedes when he bends to drink it and beneath fruit that ascends when he reaches to eat it.
The First Prisoners of Tartarus
The earliest prisoners of Tartarus were the Cyclopes and Hecatonchires, the two sets of gigantic sons of Ouranos and Gaia. The three Cyclopes and three Hecatonchires were imprisoned by their father, for Ouranos believed that their strength was a threat to his position as supreme deity.
Nico di Angelo, Percy Jackson, and Annabeth Chase are the first demigods to survive Tartarus (although Gaea's forces finally captured Nico and sent him to the mortal world).
Rhea, the daughter of Gaia and Uranus, was a Greek Titan and the mother of the Olympians. Along with the other Titans, Rhea was imprisoned in Tartarus by her tyrannical father; she was eventually liberated by her brother Cronus, whom she married.
The cunning Sisyphus lived happily for many more years, but despite all his efforts, even he could not escape the inevitable. When Sisyphus finally died as an old man, he was dragged back to the underworld.
Sisyphus (or Sisyphos) is a figure from Greek mythology who, as king of Corinth, became infamous for his general trickery and twice cheating death. He ultimately got his comeuppance when Zeus dealt him the eternal punishment of forever rolling a boulder up a hill in the depths of Hades.
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus cheated death twice: by trapping Thanatos in his own chains and then by tricking Persephone into letting him return. He was finally sentenced to eternal fruitless labor in Tartarus for his presumption.
Kratos was eventually able to escape the dark pits of Tartarus, where he faced Charon once again and defeated him. After he took Charon's Ferry, Kratos followed the sunlight of Helios down the River Styx and came upon the Temple of Persephone.
Tartarus features three different bosses, the Furies. When you reach chamber 14, one of these bosses will be randomly selected to fight. Each boss has their own unique chamber and attacks. Initially, Megaera will be the only fight the player can experience at the end of Tartarus.
Tartarus and Gaia had a child, Typhon. Typhon was a giant monster with 100 snakeheads and eyes full of fire.
After Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson fall into Tartarus at the end of The Mark of Athena, the other five demigods of the "Prophecy of Seven" (Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque, Jason Grace, Leo Valdez and Piper McLean), aided by Nico di Angelo and Coach Hedge, prepare to go to Greece to find and close the Doors of Death ...
It is commonly thought that Nyx is the only goddess that Zeus is truly afraid of because she is older and more powerful than him. This traces back to one story in which Hera, Zeus' wife and goddess of marriage and childbirth, works together with Hypnos, the god of sleep, to trick Zeus.
Hyperion is the father of Eos, Helios, and Selene by Theia, the Titaness of sight and enlightenment. He was imprisoned in Tartarus after the First Titanomachy, and was eventually released during the Second Titanomachy to fight against Olympus.
His punishment is to roll that boulder — that's it. Sisyphus doesn't stop because he is afraid of the consequences of stopping, he continues because he foolishly believes that despite failing over and over that he can one day make it to the top.
He killed guests and travelers in his palace, a violation of guest-obligations, which fell under Zeus' domain, thus angering the god.
Sisyphus is happy not despite his fate but by recognising this fate and embracing it, by realising the absurdity by seeing the difference between what the world really is and what he hopes it to be, by realising the graces of his fate, moreover, if he did not have this fate he might not have 'consciousness' as Camus ...
In Greek mythology the opposite of Sisyphus is Proteus, who changed shape to avoid having to divulge the future. The word protean come from Proteus, meaning that goals are accomplished through versatility, adaptability, and flexibility.
Sisyphus is punished in the underworld by the god Zeus, who forces him to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity.
For Sisyphus, Hades was easy to trick. He asked the god chaining him how the chains actually worked. He then used the opportunity to chain Hades (or Thanatos) and escape. As a result of his actions, humans could no longer die and travel to the Underworld.
Nyx lived in Tartarus with her daughter Hemera. During the day, Nyx would leave Tartarus (while Hemera was returning) and fly up out of the Underworld and bring Erebus together making it night time.
But afterwards, Gaia, in union with Tartarus, bore the youngest of her sons Typhon, who would be the last challenge to the authority of Zeus.
Early life. Nyx was born directly from Chaos and Tartarus, two of the first protogenoi. She lives in Tartarus in the Mansion of Night, where she stays during the day and leaves during the night.
