In Greek Mythology, the place that most resembles the description of "dark and gloomy cave" is Tartarus.

Tartarus is described as a "a deep, gloomy place, a pit, or an abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering that resides beneath the underworld," meaning that Tartarus was not between Heaven and Hell, but rather was the closest Greek analog to the Christian hell.

Alternatively, in Roman Mythology, the entrance to the Underworld was through Avernus, a crater in Cumae, Italy.
