What is Tantalus the God of?
Tantalus was not a god. He was a mortal king. The Gods liked him so they invited him to Olympus. He tried to take Nectar and Ambrosia (God Food) from the Gods and they banished him. Everyone made fun of him, even his own children. He killed his kids and put them in the foods. Tantalus invited the Gods to his palace and have dinner with him. When the Gods realized the kids were in the food, they punished him in the Underworld by making him stand in a river but could never drink and a fruit tree above him but could never eat.
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.
