I will give you a short answer ....If you want a longer more detailed I would be happy to supply....
Hell (hades) is used as the counterpart for the Hebrew word sheol which is defined as the grave.... sorry not the grave itself, which is (qeber).... but the time in the grave or the state of being in the grave. In Greek mythology Hades was the god of the underworld and his name came to represent this fictitious place that we understand as Hell.
We have adapted the meaning, which the Greeks have put upon this word “hell”, making it synonymous in definition with (Heb) sheol (Greek) hades, gehenna, katakaio, and tartaros…as being that of eternal torment. Those are the words used.... that have been translated into our one English word for hell..... they are not the same.
The word you are looking for is tartaros used in 2Pe 2:4 This has nothing to do with man... it concerns only the angels that sinned.....
Tartaros is a place where God imprisoned these spirits until He imposes their sentence in the day of judgment. Hell is not a proper translation of tartaros.
These are the spirits Jesus witnessed to and proclaimed His triumph ..... after His resurrection 1Pe 3:18-20
