tantalus' punishment was to have what he desired ever at his fingertips but was never able to grasp it. it tantalized him forever. This is where the root of the word 'tantalizing' comes from.
Demetre has the gal to send someone for punishment to tartarus and at the same time demand the release of her daughter XD I guess his name became the origin of the word tantalizing then?
Ashlie Ryder Seeing how Hades was typically in charge of devising the punishments in Tartarus (especially the more creative ones like those of Ixion and Sisyphus), Tantalus’ fate probably would’ve been more or less the same.
I also find it weird that in every artistic depiction of Tantalus's punishment that I have seen, including the one in this video, the fruit was actually not out of his reach.
He’s a god, he has probably tried all of the animals on earth and in a another myth, went to a kingdom where the king served Zeus human flesh and Zeus turned him into a Werewolf. The real question is: WHY DID HE SERVE HUMAN FLESH TO ZEUS?
@@baalgodofrain he thought it would be the ultimate sacrifice to their name but he took things a bit too far :). In another version I believe he wants to test them.
That first picture you showed looks like the guy from Game of Thrones, is it? Think he did a single episode but still memorable. Love your channel!!!! 💓
The Gods of Olympus won’t ever manifest themselves in the earth and they don’t appear to us in physical form and many myths are a clear example of that.
Deathmournex Aphrodite manifested herself to Adonis in her physical form on Earth and they met frequently. Even Persephone manifested herself in her physical form to the same guy on Earth during summertime. Also Poseidon in his physical form chased a beautiful woman into Athena's Temple on Earth hoping that she would be protected by Athena but instead Athena turns her into Medusa. So the gods do manifest themselves in physical form on Earth among humans. So you are actually wrong.
Ninja Mice uh the shaman guy told me “The Gods do not appear to us in physical form. Many myths are clear example of that.” There immaterial beings of the light and have no physical shape and they existed for nearly eons
Deathmournex Well then that guy gave you wrong info or he was talking about another type of Mythology, because Greek gods do have a Physical from and have interacted with humans. Hell, even they have had children with humans. Theseus, Hercules, and Helen, among many other demigods are examples of Gods manifesting themselves on Earth in their Physical form and interacting with humans. Especially Zeus who had many affairs with mortal women. All of this comes from the Original Myths.
But why tho?? Like, you could’ve not cooked your son and served anything. They wanted to meet him NOT EAT HIS MEAT 🤦🏾♀️ and is no one going to do anything about that cook???
The thing about the Greek gods is that none of them are purely good or bad. They all have flaws and succumb to their emotions easily, but they also can be very benevolent as well.
I heard it different about the eating of the son. The gods eat all of his food, and they where still hungery. And to test them he killed his son. Demeter was the only one because of here grief.
When I fist heard the story an of Tantalus I said wtf then I heard his punishment and I was like well that's what ya get when you you kill your kid and serve him to your family.
I have a question. What if one would want to try and find a way to seal himself inside tarterus as his afterlife choice. Let's say that because a person accumulates so much wisdom and adapted it and became so powerful that in order to keep the universe safe he must bury himself underneath the underworld as far as possible so that neither side could gain control of him
as much I hated Zeus, but for once, I with Zeus on this punishment, because what Tantalus done to his son was totally unforgivable. I aware it's a myth, but good one at that.
*Demeter:* devours a stew because she's sad
*me:* same

BS, this is total BS.
@@MF-sk8ww how so?
I’m just glad the cook wasn’t punished 🤣
You and Mythology &Fiction are the only youtubers that I watch for anything close to mythology stories
That punishment is crazy clever
Holy cow!
It is insane and evil.
Is this where the world 'tantalizing' comes from ?
Yes.
Yes, it is. I'm surprised they didn't mention this in the video.
Yes
Cool. Love every video you make about Greek mythology
Tantalaus: HE’S IN THE STEW
Zeus: WOW! Great joke man, you got me there!
Tantalaus: Thanks dad. Your the greatest!
Tantalaus is delirious.
Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Total BS.
omg I am in love with this channel
:)
+See U in History / Mythology I am now happy :)
Nice to see where the words "tantalizingly close" came from
I was under the impression that Zeus zapped Tantalus and every member of his court with his lightning, before Hades crafted his eternal punishment
That man deserves that punishment.
LOVE LEARNING ABOUT THIS!
Demetre has the gal to send someone for punishment to tartarus and at the same time demand the release of her daughter XD
I guess his name became the origin of the word tantalizing then?
Măяĭą All I can say is I wonder how Hades and Persephone would’ve responded when they learned about what Tantalus did.
Yes
Măяĭą It was Zeus who had Tantalus sent to Tartarus, not Demeter.
Ashlie Ryder Seeing how Hades was typically in charge of devising the punishments in Tartarus (especially the more creative ones like those of Ixion and Sisyphus), Tantalus’ fate probably would’ve been more or less the same.
People: you can’t just feed us a baby!
Tantalus: haha firstborn go cook cook
Also, where’s this mans cookbook?
What? You mean to tell me that Tantalus couldn't splash the water into his mouth with his hands?
I like to imaging he could swim in the waters but the water would create a helmet of air around his head. xD
@@junjunjamore7735 LOL

@@messinalyle4030 it magically moves upwards when he reaches.
@@messinalyle4030 Precisely. Tantalisingly so..........then the wind would move the branch when he tried to take the fruit....
"so close, yet so far. "
Amazing as usual 😎
:)
Question, how did Zeus know it was human meat, before he was told. 🤔
He’s a god, he has probably tried all of the animals on earth and in a another myth, went to a kingdom where the king served Zeus human flesh and Zeus turned him into a Werewolf. The real question is: WHY DID HE SERVE HUMAN FLESH TO ZEUS?
@@baalgodofrain he thought it would be the ultimate sacrifice to their name but he took things a bit too far :). In another version I believe he wants to test them.
More pleasee😍
Another great video
That first picture you showed looks like the guy from Game of Thrones, is it? Think he did a single episode but still memorable.
Love your channel!!!! 💓
He was also in the Hercules movie ( 2014)
I guess Tantalus thought he was going to serve a feast to aztec gods
I'm just glad she ate a part of his shoulder instead of ..😣
I think that not what Zeus need by where is my grandson
Final song name?
Demeter really was stress eating
Greek punishments were the next level
I have a very hard to answer question!Which is better:
Ambrose or Mountain Dew?
Can you make a vid on Hypnos?
*gReAt*

The tantalizing punishment of tantalus
I am Tantalus. I discovered the secret recipe but I am forever cursed as no one will believe me.
He killd his own son
That is not right tantalus is literally a fricken Monster
irony of charge...........
👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome fuckin video be still my beating heart
1:38 Pelops is a hottie
Can u do NIOBE?
Where is Poseidon?
why on earth ii it a great idea to offer his son for the gods? it makes no sense at all.
Palops modelled for Dolce ? 😄
Can't tantalus try to get a drink so when the water went down he can go by keeping his head down trying to get a drink but not really
No It will separate around his face
No

Why don't they appear to us in their true form
i thought this was the story of lycan ?
Please please please do hindu mythology

But why tho?? Like, you could’ve not cooked your son and served anything. They wanted to meet him NOT EAT HIS MEAT 🤦🏾♀️ and is no one going to do anything about that cook???
Pelops was gay aswell wasn't he ?
HNL squad
💗💗💗😆😆😆💗💗
.
Hahaha story tellers😂
:D
Tantalus was 🤪 & 🤢 dude.
who wrote this myth?
Wow! The Greek gods were actually the good guys for once! Nice video!
Ikr? I was like "Wowwwww..... they were actually good for once?!"
It really depends on who's telling the story to be honest. In some versions are epitome of being jerks in others they are virtuous
The thing about the Greek gods is that none of them are purely good or bad. They all have flaws and succumb to their emotions easily, but they also can be very benevolent as well.
they put a curse on the rest of his family, even tho they did nothing wrong.
That's what makes Greek/Roman gods some of the best. They have flaws and are almost human in their natures.
Hahaha story tellers😂
I heard it different about the eating of the son.
The gods eat all of his food, and they where still hungery.
And to test them he killed his son.
Demeter was the only one because of here grief.
Well the story was Tantalizing... Immense punishment too BTW!
This helps me for class!!!
When I fist heard the story an of Tantalus I said wtf then I heard his punishment and I was like well that's what ya get when you you kill your kid and serve him to your family.
"How dare you feed us human flesh!"
Well that made a mess of the milk I was drinking....
hahaha
Total BS.
I heard the same thing happened to Demeter
Now add Corey Burton's voice (he voiced Zeus in the GOW games) and get ready to lol even louder.
Tantalus son is a hottie!
Isn't he?
Was
Yeeeeesssssss😍😍🤤🤤
Ok buddy
Good video
I have a question. What if one would want to try and find a way to seal himself inside tarterus as his afterlife choice. Let's say that because a person accumulates so much wisdom and adapted it and became so powerful that in order to keep the universe safe he must bury himself underneath the underworld as far as possible so that neither side could gain control of him
as much I hated Zeus, but for once, I with Zeus on this punishment, because what Tantalus done to his son was totally unforgivable. I aware it's a myth, but good one at that.
I thought tantalus made the son stew to test if the gods are smart enough to know about his theivery after feeling guilty about stealing god chow
But the question is why? Why did he do that , what reaction was he expecting ?
I love dis channel
Which Is Why We Switch Between Hunger And Thirst And Back Again
So his lineage had to pay with a curse, but they brought back his son and helped him? What was the curse?
If the gods were omniscient and knew what he was doing, then why were mortals able to deceive the gods many times?
I'm so glad that you now have a video on Tantalus
Nice profile pic, looks like me after I eat a fat burber
Why can’t he use his hands to drink, but really?You HAD to cook your SON?!!!
Zeus did the right thing
Throughout this whole video I kept thinking to myself: “Why??? Why would he do that???”
WHO WOULD KILL THEIR OWN SON? nice vid btw
Abraham...
Pls make a video about Hera
Tantalizing...
that is so scary
Terrific Video Keep up the good work! Best TH-camr!
:)
See U in History / Mythology Thanks for the 💗 and Happy face
I thought you said Terrible
Why didn't Demeter just throw his arm back up?. XD
He really did had the worst punishment of the gods
That's kinda f.. up
Why is he referred to as 'Tantalum' in the video, at times?
My question in all of this is why Tantalus thought Zeus would want to eat his own grandson.
I can imagine Hades saying "you're fuck up"
Dank u.
Woooooooooow
Ho my God!
😊
