93 Gen 21.15–19.

94 This refers to the myth of Tantalus, who is punished after death for cutting up, cooking and serving his son at a feast. In the underworld he is immersed in water up to his neck while tree branches bearing luscious fruit hang above him. When he bends to drink the water it drains away, and when he reaches to pluck the fruit it moves beyond his reach. Hence the word “tantalize.” See also Oration 39.5 and my first note on the paragraph.
