The mythological figure tortured with water dripping is Tantalus from Greek mythology. He was punished by being made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree, where he could never reach the food or drink he desired. Whenever he reached for the fruit, it would recede out of reach, and when he bent down to drink, the water would vanish. This eternal torment symbolizes unattainable desires and the consequences of hubris.

Who was the mythological god that was tortured with water dripping?

You may be referring to Tantalus, a mythological king (and son of Zeus) who stole nectar and ambrosia from the gods and tried to feed them human flesh. Zeus killed Tantalus, but his punishment did not end there. In the afterlife, Tantalus was doomed to stand by a stream, with ripe fruit growing on trees above him. However, whenever he reached for the fruit, it withdrew from his grasp; whenever he bent down to drink water, the stream disappeared underground. In another version of the story, Tantalus is physically restrained from accessing a bowl of bread and a jug of water in front of him. We get our word "tantalizing," which means tempting, from this king's name.
