Tartarus was used only for Titan storage, it wasn't until the rise of Christianity they started writing in 'evildoers' subject to torment there. Then there were the Asphodel Meadows or Elysian Fields, no worship required. Not to mention the option for reincarnation. You only had to remember coinage for the Charon, and even if forgotten you weren't left to yourself for eternity, but you did have to wait a century after death for free transport. Ah the good old days...
I understand from the prophet Scott Adams that there is an analog to the Asphodel meadows, a place for the not-good-but-not-bad people. It's called "Heck" and it's run by Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light. He carries around a big spoon and "darns" souls to Heck for a finite period of time. I hear the temperature there is set to uncomfortably warm.
