"FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL KINDS OF EVIL; HE WHO EMBRACES GREED WILL FORSAKE VIRTUE IN PURSUIT OF VICE."  
  
TARTARUS IN GREEK MYTHOS IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE PLACE WHERE WICKED SOULS ARE PUNISHED, WITH PUNISHMENTS BEFITTING THE WICKNESS THEY HAVE COMMITTED. A PRIME EXAMPLE IS SISYPHUS, WHO CLAIMED HE WAS HIGHER THAN ZEUS, ONLY TO BE FORCED TO ROLL A BOULDER UP A HILL THAT HAD NO FLAT TOP, WHICH CAUSED THE BOULDER TO COME TUMBLING DOWN NO MATTER WHAT.  
  
TARTARUS IS, AS ZEUS ASSERTS IN THE ILIAD, "AS FAR BENEATH HADES AS THE HEAVENS ARE ABOVE THE EARTH". IN OTHER MYTHOS, ESPECIALLY SOME RELIGIONS, THIS PLACE IS REFERRED TO AS "HELL."
