Tartarus
.jpg)
After getting past
some giants with at least a hundred arms, Ember brings you to a large, gloomy
pit surrounded by a wall of bronze. “Sorry about the Hecatoncheires,” apologized
Ember, “They were those giants, they guard this place…” You wouldn’t have been
able to see it, though, if Ember hadn’t given you a torch beforehand; it is
pitch black in here!
“According to
Greek mythology, Tartarus is the lowest region of the world, far below the
earth, and serves as an eternal prison. You can see that a wall of bronze
surrounds it, and is hidden beyond a layer of night. In earlier myths, it serves
as a prison for some of the Titans and the monster Typhus. In later myths, it
also imprisoned sinners, judged by Rhadymanthus, the brother of King Minos.”
