what is meant when Zeus says "I will send him to the depths of Tartarus" what is tartarus.

In early Greek cosmogony (a theory or story of the origin and development of the universe, the solar system, or the earth-moon system.) TARTAROS was the great pit beneath the earth. Tartaros was secured with a surrounding wall of bronze set with a pair of gates, guarded by the hundred-handed Hekatonkheir giants, warders of the Titanes.
