The Ténare is a course located at the extreme south of the Peloponnese, in Laconie. He was regarded by the Old ones as one of the entries of the Enfers.

Quotation

(drawn from Hippolyte and Aricie of Jean-Philippe Branch, booklet of Simon-Joseph Pellegrin): Act II scene 3, it is Pluton which speaks:
“That to serve my ire all the Hell prepares;
That the Averne, that the Ténare,
the Cocyte, the Phlégéthon,
By what they have of more barbarian,
Vengent Proserpine and Pluton. ”
