So Tartarus is basically a sentient afterlife prison complete with sentence durations, got it.

[@gabrielaabreudearaujo2580]

But the Tartarus is also considered the greek-roman equivalent of the biblical Hell and because of that was even is quoted in the New Testament of the Holy Bible.

[@gabrielaabreudearaujo2580]

@@Gingersnaps_the_pumpkin_kitty But the Hell has already existed since the beginning of the times or before, since it was there that Lucifer and his fallen angels, now called demons were taken after Lucifer tried to overthrow God Himself and take His Throne in the Heavens. And since the Fall of the Man, the Hell became a place of pain and suffering for anyone who were evildoers for all the life.

[@powerofk]

@@Gingersnaps_the_pumpkin_kitty The New Testament writers did in fact use the Greco-Roman Hades and Tartarus as an image of the Christian version of the afterlife of the damned. Jesus himself often used the Hinnom Valley south of Jerusalem (Gehenna) as the image because it had been used first as a place where human sacrifice (by fire) was offered, and later as a garbage dump where the garbage was constantly being incinerated. Simply put, both Jesus and the NT writers used images and terms their audiences (Jesus's primary audience was Jewish; most of the NT writers had a Greco-Roman audience) would understand. Of course, the name Hell that English-speakers use to describe this comes from the Norse. Oddly enough, Latin-based languages simply use the term "Inferno" (literally "raging fire").

I also read that in the underworld there 3 places you could go to( excluding Tartarus , the fields of punishment, elsyum( that paradise place, i dunno how to spell it) and a place called Asphodel where you went because you were neither bad nor good.

Make a video of the hole story of kratos in the god of war

[@JonSolo]

His entire in-game story has already been covered by plenty of other channels with more time and a bigger budget but I definitely plan on doing a compare/contrast video with the original mythos!

I gotta say your mythology research and presentation is the best out there. BUT... what's even better are your product ads. Freakkingg Fireeee
