The thirsty man in Hades is often identified as Tantalus, a figure from Greek mythology. He was punished in the afterlife for his crimes by being made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree. Whenever he reached for the fruit, it would recede out of his grasp, and whenever he bent down to drink, the water would also recede, leaving him perpetually thirsty and hungry. This serves as a metaphor for unattainable desires and eternal suffering.
