Best Answer

Tatarus is the husband of Gaea, the Greek goddess of the Earth. Tatarus is the spirit of the abyss in the Underworld and the body of the abyss. He is also the father of all giants with the giants mother being Gaea. Tatarus is the abyss where all mythological monsters go when they are defeated by demigods/heroes who are the children of the Gods.

Later however Zeus sufferd from tremendous headachs until he had enough so Hephestus was called and split his head open with an axe and out sprung Athena fully fully dressed in her battle armour.


Why Cronus is important?

Cronus is important because he is a titan, and because of that, there's a big role. Cronus, besides being a titan, is also Zeus's father. however, he is important mainly because of the fact that he is the one that gave his father, sky, the vengeance that his mother, gala (Earth) felt that he needed. When he done this, he was labeled a titan by sky along with the rest of his siblings, although they didn't join him in the act. they only knew of it. but for Cronus, he became the king, and married his sister, Rhea. Rhea, however was somewhat unfortunate because each child she had, Cronus would simply swallow it whole, leaving her to weep for her child. Gaia, eventually helped due to the fact that she felt sorrowful to her grandchildren getting swallowed by Cronus all the time. But the reason for why Cronus was doing this, is because he was advised by his parents that one day a son would take over the throne. So anyway, Gaia told Rhea to give birth in a secret place, and then clothe a stone or rock in clothes so it would resemble a baby. When that day came, Cronus demanded the baby and then Rhea simply gave it to him, and in return, her child was hidden, to which was indeed a boy, and it was Zeus. Zeus was hidden from his father until he became a strong young man, and he rose up against Cronus. Cronus would end up vomiting the stone up, letting go of all of his children to which rebelled against him as well. This, however, lead to a war. Titans against the new generation of gods. This would go on for ten years, until Zeus freed the Cyclops from Tatarus , and because of this, they were grateful, and they helped him and the others fight. The titans obvoiusly lost and then zeus gained the throne. no one after that would be able to beat zeus though.

What is the difference between bottomless pit and hell?

First of all, one has to understand that there are 3 greek words that are translated "hell" in the New Testament in the King James Bible which I firmly believe is the most accurate bible version. The 10 times that Hades is translated "hell", it refers to a place where an unsaved, Christ rejector goes immediately upon dying, it is a place of torment deep in the earth, and the 12 times that the Greek word Gehenna is translated "hell", it refers to the lake of fire that all the occupants of hell and even hell itself will be cast into at the end of the Great White Throne Judgment as scripture says. Now, the Greek word Tatarus is only translated "hell" only once, and that refers to the bottomless pit which is the lowest part of Hades where there are some fallen angels imprisoned there now as stated in 2 Peter 2:4 in the New Testament, and where Satan himself will be imprisoned at the end of this age. The bottomless pit is a place only for fallen angels and for Satan, but hades which is translated hell as stated earlier is a place for human lost souls which is above the bottomless pit.
