Tantalus was a king, so popular with the Olympian Gods that he was able to dine with them in their Court. But, one day, he was caught trying to steal some ambrosia to take it home and figure out the recipe. As a punishment he was banned from Olympus. But, later, he invited the Gods to dine in his palace, to show his forgiveness. His fatal flaw was that he hated his children. He stewed them, and served the stew to the Gods and the banquet. When the found out, he was banished to Tartarus , into the Fields of Punishment, and was cursed. The curse was that he was never to eat or drink again.
