i was reading about Greek gods and stuff, i even know ancient Greek alphabet, and i don't think there is a Greek god of torture, but there is Ares, the God of War. unless he is one of the minor gods or one i never heard about(which i really don't think is possible), i don't think there is a god of torture...
There was none. Torture would not really be worthy enough in my mind... IMPROVED ANSWER There was no Greek god of torture. However, the minor god Nemesis gave people who had a lot of good luck bad fortune.
Tarterous. Although some people believe it is just a pit in the underworld, it is actually a titan from the titan age before the gods. When cast into the pit where he lives you are tortured for all eternity with no escape. Sounds fun, right?! Okay I will say this AGAIN! There was no GREEK GOD of torture BUT there was a TITAN LORD of torture known as Tarterous! When cast into his realm (the ginormous pit in the underworld) you are tortured by all of eternity typically by either your fears you were unable to overcome OR if you died gruesomely you would relive your death over and over and over! so there! Go to Godchecker , look under Greek gods, go to the T's, and find Tarterous! you will see that i am right!

Tartarus "the pit" was the great stormy Tartarean pit that lay beneath the earth; as far below Hades as Heaven is above the earth, and closed by iron gates. There is a primordial god (NOT A TITAN) self-named Tartarus, imagined as a part of the stormy pit - like Gaea is the embodiment and personification of the Earth.
Later poets say call Tartarus the place in the lower world in which the spirits of wicked men are punished for their crimes, but this is not so.
Tartarus is where the Titans were condemned to go when Zeus won the war.
Other gods/goddesses of pain and punishment:
* Erinyes: "the Furies" were said to oversee the torture of criminals consigned to the Dungeons of the Damned. (In the Underworld).
* Algea: daughters of Eris, goddesses of pain and suffering (of both body and mind), grief, sorrow and distress. They were the bringers of weeping and tears.
*Oizys: goddess of painful misery and woe, distress and suffering. She was one of the malevolent children of Nyx (Night).
*Penthos: god of grief, mourning and lamentation.
*Poena: goddess of retribution, vengeance, recompense, punishment and penalty for the crime of murder and manslaughter.
* Nemesis :the goddess of indignation against, and retribution for, evil deeds and undeserved good fortune.
