   According to Homer’s Odyssey, Book XI, in Hades Tantalus stood up to his neck in water, which flowed from him when he tried to drink it, and over his head hung fruits that the wind wafted away whenever he tried to grasp them (hence the word tantalize). According to Pindar’s first Olympian ode, a rock hung over his head ready to fall and crush him.

   【机器翻译】根据荷马的奥德赛《XI书》，在哈得斯，坦塔罗斯在水里站到脖子，当他试图喝水时，水从他身上流下来，水果挂在他的头上，每当他试图抓住它们时，风就会把它们吹走（因此有了“诱人”这个词）。根据Pindar的第一首奥运颂歌，一块石头挂在他的头上，随时准备坠落并压碎他。

   在冥府，他站在齐颈深的水中，头上悬着果实累累的树枝，却要忍受饥渴的折磨。他打算喝水，水就退去；他想摘个果子充饥，风就把果子吹走。有神话说，他头上悬一巨石，随时可能落下来将他压得粉碎，因此他总是处于惊恐之中。

   他站在一个池塘的中央忍受灼热的煎烤，清澈的池水没过他的脖颈，他想弯下腰来用干裂的嘴唇喝水，水就立刻退入地下了。同时，他也必须忍受难以言状的饥饿的煎熬。他身后的池塘边长着许多果树，上面挂满了果实。但只要他伸手去摘，一阵大风就会将这些果实刮到云端。他的第三种痛苦是面对死神的恐惧：一块巨大的风化岩石悬挂在他的头顶晃来晃去，随时都可能掉下来把他砸死。
