#Turtles and #tortoises share the same #etymological root: Ancient #Greek ταρταροῦχος (tartaroûkhos), “holder of Tartaros (or Tartarus)”. Ancient beliefs held that they originated from the underworld, thought to be the resting place of the dead, referred to as Τάρταρος (Tártaros), meaning “the land of the dead, #hell.”
