Tartarus

Tartarus is one of the realms of the Greecian underworld known as Hades. Residing beneath the underworld, the realm is an abyss of shadow and fire, used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for souls that have been judged as evil and deservent of eternal punshment. As a result, the realm is filled with monsters, villains and vile creatures of malevelant intent.

The portal to Tartarus exists beneath Themyscira where, following their capture and imprisonment by Heracles' and subsequent freeing by the goddess Athena, the Amazons of Themyscira are charged with protecting "Doom's Doorway"; the portal to Tartarus, from outside influence and to prevent any monsters from escaping the realm into the realm of the living.
