Tantalus' Sin and Punishment: This Italian vase from 300 BC shows the soul which brings Tantalus back from different brands of stories, basket of bread and water pot.
(TAN - ta - luss) is the king of Greece (and the son of Zeus), he is arrogant and believes that he can deceive God
When Zeus invited Tantalus to Mt. Olympus and had dinner with the gods, Tantalus planned to steal the special foods of the gods (fairy and honey) and hand it over to his friends to return to the Earth . !
Then Tantaras did something worse than this. He invited the gods to eat at their own house and tried to deceive them to eat human flesh. Tantalus has his own son, Pelops.
Most gods knew what had happened and did not eat anything, but Demeter was very concerned about deprived Persephone, and she ate a small piece of a periphese shoulder. This is a terrible way to treat guests.
This Roman sarcophagus shows tantalum on the left side and leaves water in hands - but it will always fall off from his fingers before he can drink! The other two offenders punished were Ixion and Sisyphus. All three guests will handle guests
Because of this crime, Zeus himself murdered Tantalus and Tantalus had to spend his entire life in the underworld. His torture is that he must stand forever in the depth of the pool, and the fruit trees hang a filled fruit tree with ripe fruits.
He is very hungry and thirsty, but as he bends and drinks water he will disappear like a magic.
But no matter how hungry he is thirsty, he will never die because he is already dead. (This is the word "attractive")
In this story, Tantalus appeared in Homer 's "Odyssey" written around 700 BC and was punished for his bad guy after his death. The Egyptians always believed that bad things happened after the bad guys died, but at the moment the idea of Greece may be new.
For the arrogance of Tantarus - I think he is wiser than God - children of Tantalus, Pelops and Neop, and Atrus and Trieste of his grandchildren, and his grandchildren, Garmenon, Menerus and Aegostus, and their children Orestes, Electra and Iphigeneia are not lucky

Translated by Aeschylus by Oresteia, Robert Fagles (Penguin Classics). The story of Agamemnon, the grandson of Tantarus. Fagles is an excellent translator. Including performance version
The family history of Agamemnon was hurt by the murder, incest, betrayal, as a result of a violent crime by ancestral Tantalus, and then by the curse of Tantricops son Pelops. He was murdered. Therefore, unfortunately we encountered consecutive generations of the Atlas family up to the compensation of Orestes in the joint human beings and the court of God. Agamemnon gathered a passive Greek army to travel to Troy. The army of Agamemnon is ready to leave the angry of goddess Artemis, leaving Boatian port, Auris. There are several reasons for this angry myth. In the drama of Aeschylus, Agamemnon, Artemis is angry with young people who are dying of Troy and Sophocles Electra. Agamemnon killed sacred animals, Artemis, and then were equal in hunting He boasted that it was Artemis. Unfortunately, the military could not sail, including plague and lack of wind
Agamemnon came from Altus' house and cursed his family from Tantaras, a son of Zeus. Tantalus skillfully served the gods with cooked food of a terrible main dish, his son, Pelops. As her daughter Persephone was missing, Demetel was very angry then. This made her angry, so unlike other gods and goddesses, she did not recognize that the leek is meat. As a result, Demeter ate some stews. Afterwards, the gods reorganized the pelops again, but of course there is a missing part. Demeter had already eaten the shoulder of Pelops, so she exchanged it for ivory. Tantalus did not hurt. His very appropriate punishment helps informing Christians about the he
