Tartarus, GreeceIn Greek mythology, Tartarus was synonymous with hell and was regarded as the essence of the underworld. It was located under the human world and connected to the human world through the mysterious River Styx.
Tartarus was formed later than Gaia, the mother of the earth. It was the place where the souls of humans and gods returned after death. Here lived the goddess of vengeance, Erinius, and imprisoned the people and gods who had committed eternal crimes. For example, in the power struggle of the gods, Titan, who had lost the Battle of Titan, was imprisoned here. Zeus 'father, Cronus, was also imprisoned here and guarded by the Hecatoncheir. Uranus and Cronus also imprisoned the Hecatoncheir and the Cyclops in Tartarus. Some of the evildoers, such as Sisyphos and Ixion, were also imprisoned here.
Tartarus was originally used to imprison gods who had made mistakes, but later, some evil people would also be imprisoned here. It was sometimes confused with the Underworld, but it was strictly distinguished in Homer's epics. The Underworld was where the souls of the dead lived, and Tartarus was where the defeated Titan was imprisoned. Tartarus was extremely important in the Greek mythological system. Not only was it the home of the dead, but it was also the place where many important events took place. It was also connected to other gods, such as Nyx and her brother Erebus, who lived here after their marriage. They bred many gods, including the three goddesses of fate and Thanatos, the god of death. Later, Tartarus was given to Hades by Zeus and became the place where Hades ruled.

Ares GreeceIn Greek mythology, Ares was the God of War, one of the twelve gods of Mount Olympus. He was the son of Zeus and Hera. He had a noble status, an extraordinary appearance, a mighty body, and was wearing armor.
Ares was a symbol of power and authority, but he was bloodthirsty, warlike, and cruel. He was the embodiment of bloody battles. His martial arts were strong, but he had suffered many defeats. During the Trojans 'war, he helped the Trojans fight against the Greek. He was stabbed by the Greek hero Diomedes and defeated by Athena many times.
He was handsome and loved by Aphrodite. However, he was caught red-handed by the God of Fire, Hecunstus, when he was having a tryst with Aphrodite, and became a joke in the Divine Realm.
Ares was originally a god revered by the Thracians. He was regarded as the god of the underworld, representing primitive desires and barbarism. In the early days of ancient Greece, it gradually evolved into the god of war worshipped by the ancient Greek people, symbolizing war and power. As civilization progressed, his image evolved into the bloodthirsty god feared by the ancient greeks, representing pure violence and destruction.
His followers were his sons Terror, Tremble, Panic, and Fear, the goddess of sister discord, Eris, his wife Enyo, the goddess of city destruction, and a group of bloodthirsty demons. His beloved mistress was Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and they had a daughter named Harmonia.
His favorite place was Thrace, the rugged northern land, and his emblems were a spear and a burning torch, and his pets were vultures and hounds. Its image left a lasting mark in ancient Greek literature and art (such as the epic works, the Iliad, and sculptures), and also provided inspiration for later literary and artistic works.

Really good book and I love the world the Author is building around the Main Character. It doesn’t feel like he was just thrown into a video game but ancient Greece with kratos stuff mixed in. The main characters himself is also likable and doesn’t really make foolish decisions for plot.
