What do you make of tantalus and sisyphus?
im wondering the same thing....odyssey study guide for book 11? hahaa In Book 11, after Odysseus talks with the spirits of the Underworld, he sees Tantalus and Sisyphus. Both men had been punished for a crime they had done. Tantalus was favored by the gods and could eat the food of the gods, ambrosia, but he shared the food and then was punished. He now can never eat or drink any food or liquid. Sisyphus' story was a little different. He was evil and would murder travelers. He also betrayed the secrets of the gods and chained Thanatos, the Greek personification of death, so he couldn't reach the Underworld. Sisyphus was also punished for all eternity. His punishment was that he was forced to roll a big stone up a steep hill. Every time the stone would get to the top, it would fall all the way back down and Sisyphus would have to start again. Both of Tantalus and Sisyphus' punishments weren't very good and they must have been pretty bad people to deserve those punishments. I think that they are pretty bad to deserve such punishments. This is what I make of Tantalus and Sisyphus.
Who are Tantalus and Sisyphus?
Tantalus and Sisyphus are two characters from Greek mythology who were punished in the Underworld eternally. Tantalus was made to stand under a fruit tree and in a puddle of water, but could not eat or drink- the fruit avoided him, and the water receded. He had killed his son and tried to make the gods eat him. Sisyphus was punished by having to attempt to roll a rock uphill forever. He had betrayed Zeus to a river-god, as Zeus had kidnapped the river-god's daughter in the form of an eagle. Seeing this, Sisyphus told the river-god, incurring the wrath of Zeus upon him.

In greek mythology the name of the man who cannot reach food to eat?
Tantalus, whose name is the origin of the word "tantalize". He served the gods his son as the main course of dinner, and for that was damned to eternal starvation and thirst.
