Wonder Woman, as she discovers a mysterious object called the Dreamstone, an item that grants wishes-for a price. But whenever the old man made to grasp them in his hands, the wind would toss them up towards the shadowy clouds.The movie, which premiered on Friday, December 25, on HBO Max, stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince, a.k.a. Trees spread their foliage high over the pool and dangled fruits above his head вЂ“ pear-trees and pomegranates, apple-trees with their glossy burden, sweet figs and luxuriant olives. The pool was swallowed up, and all there was at his feet was the dark earth, which some mysterious power had drained dry.

For whenever he stooped in his eagerness to drink, it disappeared. The old man was standing in a pool of water which nearly reached his chin, and his thirst drove him to unceasing efforts but he could never reach the water to drink it. I also saw the awful agonies that Tantalus has to bear. He is seen in this condition by the wandering Odysseus down in Hades in Homer's Odyssey. As an added frustration, he was positioned below a tree but can never quite grasp the succulent fruit that hangs from its boughs. Sisyphus had to forever roll a stone up a hill each day, Ixion was tied to a flaming wheel that never stopped spinning, and Tantalus, completing the most unfortunate trio in Hades, was made to stand in a pool of water but never able to drink from it and quench his insatiable thirst as it drains whenever he bends down to drink.

He was the father of Pelops, the charioteer hero of Olympia, and Niobe, who foolishly boasted her large number of children showed she was superior to Leto, and so her nine daughters and nine sons were killed by the goddess Artemis with the help of Apollo.ДЇor his audacity, Tantalus first had his kingdom and dynasty cursed and then, in the afterlife, he was to receive one of those delicious punishments that Zeus occasionally dished out to the particularly wicked amongst the mortals. So much so, the king gave rise to the Greek expression, 'the talents of Tantalus.' His wife differs in various accounts вЂ“ Euryanassa or Eurythemista, both daughters of river gods, or Clytie, daughter of Aphidamantes, or Dione, one of the Pleiades. He was famed for his great wealth, much like those other Asian kings Croesus and Midas. Tantalus' father was Zeus and his mother Pluto, daughter of Cronus and Rhea.

Tantalus was the legendary king of Sipylus, a kingdom which bordered Lydia and Phrygia. His terrible punishment was set as a warning for humanity not to cross the line between mortals and gods. For attempting to serve his own son at a feast with the gods, he was punished by Zeus to forever go thirsty and hungry in Hades despite being stood in a pool of water and almost within reach of a fruit tree. Tantalus is a figure from Greek mythology who was the rich but wicked king of Sipylus.
