There is a place called Tepekule where the remains of the
monumental tomb of King Tantalos, were supposedly found.
Tantalos was one of the rare people who received an
invitation to the dining table of the Gods. He was always with
them without having been invited. One day, Tantalos called the
Gods for a feast. As he was really sincere with them, he didn’t
see any inconvenience in testing them. He had his son killed and
butchered his body. His aim was to test the Gods. He wanted to
see if they could understand what they were about to eat. Zeus,
who understood that the meat on the table was human meat,
accepted this as an insult, because Tantalos went too far and had
to be punished. Zeus sent Tantalos to a hellish prison. Here, he
was submerged up to his belly. The water was so pure that one
could drink it completely. And over his head, there were kinds of
fruits hanging. Appealing grapes, apples, pomegranates, pears
were there. Tantalos wanted to drink some water. Whenever he
wanted , this pure water drained away and disappeared.

tried to straighten up and reach up with his hands he tossed
them away. He was in water but thirsty, he was surrounded by
fruit but he was hungry. This was the punishment which was
given by the Gods. This was more than a punishment; it was a
torture in response to his disrespect. This is called the torture of
Tantalos. ( In English there is a word ‘ tantalize’ which means to
tease someone by offering something desirable but keeping it
out of reach. This word is derived from this story.)
