Can you find a sentence that is as damp as the salty waves?
The one Zeus imposed on Tantalus for trying to trick the gods into eating human flesh. Tantalus not only murdered his infant son, Pelops, but boiled up the baby for the main course in a banquet for the gods. To pay for this transgression, Zeus condemned Tantalus to stand forever in a pond that came up to his chin, but which would recede any time Tantalus tried to take a drink. This sounds like a damp sentence to serve, if you ask me. Just out of reach above him is a fruit-laden branch that rises away from his hand any time he tries to pick a fruit. Hence Tantalus is remembered as the root of the verb "to tantalize," which means to tempt with something just out of reach.
