"Τάρταρος" meaning in All languages combined

See Τάρταρος on Wiktionary

Proper name [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /tár.ta.ros/, /ˈtar.ta.ros/, /ˈtar.ta.ros/, /tár.ta.ros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈtar.ta.ros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈtar.ta.ros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈtar.ta.ros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈtar.ta.ros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Strabo, this word had been fancifully believed to have been invented by Homer with the city of Ταρτησσός (Tartēssós) in mind, with a slight change of letters, it being west of the Ἡράκλειοι Στῆλαι (Hērákleioi Stêlai), or Pillars of Heracles, beyond which the sun sinks past Oceanus as it enters into Tartarus. A semantic connection of Definition 2 with the doomed, sunken civilization of Atlantis has not been overlooked. Klein suggests (at least partly) otherwise: "prob[ably] word of imitative origin, suggestive of something frightful."

A semantic connection of Definition 2 with the doomed, sunken civilization of Atlantis has not been overlooked.\nKlein suggests (at least partly) otherwise: \"prob[ably] word of imitative origin, suggestive of something frightful.\"",
