Tartarus is a place that's located even lower than Hades' Underworld. Said to "hemmed by three layers of night" and is worse than hell. Zeus referred to it as "as far below the Earth as heaven is high above it."

What did Uranus do to the cyclops and the hundred-handers?

Uranus forced the children back into the mother, Gaia, which caused a lot of pain. He forced them out of her, chained them up and threw them into Tartarus. Gaia told her other children, letting anyone take the offer of killing their father. Chronus took the weapon his mother chose to kill Uranus, he chopped off his limbs and scattered them. Chronus and Rhea had children, the Gods, and that lead to the Titanomachy.


How many kids did Gaea and Uranus have?

Uranus was the father of many mythical figures. He was the father of the twelve Titans. However, he was also the father of two races of giants: the Hecatonchires (who had 100 arms) and the Cyclops (who had 1 eye). There is no exact number given in the myths. After he was castrated by Cronus (a Titan), his blood gave life to another race of giants (the Gigantes) and the three Furies. His castrated genitals mixed with the water of the ocean and created Aphrodite. So the easy answer is 12, and the more complicated answer is "lots."
