The name says it all. That's where Dad {Hades} tries out his new punishment ideas, but he says the traditional ones still work best: the lava flows, the minefields full of exploding surprises, burning at the stake, running naked through cactus patches... You name it, we've got it here - Nico di Angelo
In "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Ultimate Guide," Nico di Angelo humorously describes his father's realm, where creative torture methods are tested. Hades, Nico's dad, experiments with new ways to punish wrongdoers but often relies on age-old techniques that he believes are more effective.
The quote highlights a variety of traditional punishments involving extreme discomfort and danger, showcasing the sinister humor of Hades' domain. With everything from lava flows to cactus patches, the description paints a vivid picture of the grim and unique punishments found in the underworld.
