there was another one to tantalize, from the man named Tantalus who was tortured in the fields of punishment, in a pool of water that went up to his chest, and with a fruit tree above him. when he reached for the water, or tried to eat the fruit, the fruit shriveled, and the water dried up, therefore we get the word tantalize, which means to tempt but tortuously never allow the temptation to be fulfilled
