Tentalus - was a mortal who was being punished for killing his son and feeding him to the gods. His punishment was that he was supposed to stand in a deep pool of water underneath a low hanging branch of a fruit tree for eternity with a burning thirst and aching hunger. Every time he leaned down to get a sip of water the water receded. Every time he reached up to grab some fruit the tree grew so he couldn’t reach. He has to spend eternity desperately hungry and thirsty surrounded by water and fruit but he can never get it.  that was the most random punishment.

It was Theseus' best buddy who got stuck though

I forgot his name

It was super funny because Theseus got rescued by Hercules but the other guy just got left there, marking the end of the best bromance of all time 😔

This isn't a Hades punishment but it was quite a punishment. A guy named Erysichthon tried to chop down some of Demeter's sacred tree so she cursed him to always be hungry so the guy sold everything including his daughter to buy food kind of the opposite of Tantalus.

Hey all! I just now found out that this exists! I am an avid Greek Myth nerd, and try to work in as much Greek Mythology as I can in any of my creations. I mean, I named myself Athene IRL, sooooooo... 

I have gotten into writing poems after quarantine, and a lot of them a Greek myth oriented. In fact, I've posted my Greek inspired poems in the Creator's Corner!

Here's the link, for those interested!

I've also done my best to incorporate Greek Myths in my characters over in the Alleyverse (Check it out if you haven't already!!). As a fun little game, without looking it up, do you know the references to my characters and why I picked those names?

  • Perses (not Perseus! :P)-My first character, is now the destructive pseudo-inquisitor that is the main villain
  • Clotho-An older, now retired character that was an A-Gold savant
  • Chloris-An ex-Edgedancer that is now a midnight essence spore eater
  • Minthe-The manipulative midnight spore that has infected Chloris
  • Arges (not Argus)-A minor NPC pewterarm that secretly loves geeking out about medieval weaponry
