What is your interpretation of the punishment of Tantalus, described in paragraphs 12-13? "Typically, the gods punished those who were bad. For example, Tantalus, who killed his own son and served
him to the gods for dinner, was sent to Hades and made forever thirsty and hungry. Although there was a pool
of clear, fresh drinking water at his feet, whenever Tantalus bent down to drink, the pool would dry up and
disappear. Likewise, over his head hung the most delicious fruit. However, whenever Tantalus reached for them, a wind
would blow them just out of his reach. The English word “tantalize” derives from the name Tantalus."
Do you think it indicates the presence of a cruel impulse among the ancient Greeks?
