The name 'tantalus' has its origins in roman mythology -- 'tantalus' was the 'romanised' name given to the greek god 'prometheus' -- he was the son of the all powerful 'jupiter' (zeus) -- having heard that 'tantalus' had fed the blood of a divine animal to his own son, 'jupiter' chained him to a rock for one thousand years -- as part of his punishment the fruit that grew above him was always just too far away to reach and the water below was always receding, giving us the word "tantalize" - 'tantalus' are: . . . . . . . . .
