From Tantalus, the Greek mortal cursed in Tartaurus to spend all eternity in a pool of water with fruit branches overhead, but never being able to reach them to take a bite to eat or drink.

Tantalus a Greek mythological figure, most famous for his punishment in Tartarus, was made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches. The fruit ever eluding his grasp, the water always receding before he could take a drink.
