After reading the passage about Tantalus, we can conclude the following about him:

Tantalus most likely wished he had friends.

<h3>Who is Tantalus?</h3>
  • Tantalus is a Greek mythology character. As a matter of fact, it is from his name that the verb "tantalize" is derived. Tantalus was the son of the god Zeus with a nymph and, for that reason, he was friends with the gods and allowed in heaven.
  • However, Tantalus used his access to heaven to sin against the gods. He stole nectar and ambrosia from them to give to humans. He also killed his own son and served him for the gods to eat to test the gods.
  • For that reason, he was punished by being imprisoned in Hades, a mythological hell, where he could not reach the water and the food that were right in front of him.

<h3>What can we infer from the passage?</h3>
  • The passage says that the night Tantalus spent with fellow mortals was glorious. He was happy because he felt as if he had actual friends. With that piece of information, we can infer that Tantalus wished he has friends, that he craved this sort of intimacy with other mortals.
