tartarus

[Aeon Of Dreams 115]

BY odin's beard! i thought i was the only norse brony! i have always loved norse mythology, and mythology in general. you deserve this brohoof!

I have almost finished the Prose Edda and will soon move onto The Saga Of Volsungs. Interestingly enough I am at the part of the Prose Edda where it is telling an abridged version of The Saga Of Volsungs. Either way I am pleased to meet another norse brony as well.

 

Back on topic I wonder if this could also be part of a headcanon someone made where the show's universe is in the same one as greek mythology, but Equestria just happens to be controlled by a lesser pantheon of deities (Celestia, Luna, ect) it is a very interesting headcanon if anyone else has heard of it.

Since tartarus is Equestrians version of hell, wouldn't that mean that King Sombra is there at the moment? He was killed after all.

what does everypony think is behind the gates of tartarus? there are so many monsters running around equestria that it sorta makes you wander what was bad enough to be locked up with that fearsome guard dog.

Tartarus is the name hell or purgatory in some ancient cultures. In this instance the writers have mixed Hades and Tartarus together (as I believe the gates of Tartarus were ungaurded save for the fact they were at the end of the world).

 

In theory what would be behind those gates would be every evil soul that's existed.... I think that's a good enough reason to keep them locked away lol.
