Tantalus was punished by the gods for stealing their secrets but most notably for killing his own son, cooking him for a feast, and serving him to the gods. For this outrage, he was cast into Hades, and his endless appetite would be his eternal punishment. He was forced to stand submerged in a pool of water, with a nearby fruit tree offering its fruits, but every time he reached for it, it would bend away from his grasp. He spends eternity being teased by the prospect of food, only to never get it. This is why we call such a situation "tantalizing."
