No, Nothing To Do With Naval Bases
Though I confess, as I loomed over the kitchen hob this afternoon, thinking "Tartus" - sounds like "Tartarus", and wasn't that a variation of Hell that authors of classical antiquity referred to?
Well, yes it was. I consulted my trusty "Brewer's" which has it that it was ' - the infernal regions of classical mythology' and which Homer described as NOT being Hades. According to him - guided tour expertise? - Tartarus was as far beneath Hades as Hades was under the earth. Deep stuff. Art!
