• n. 酒瓶架的一種

古希臘神話中的人物，傳說中為古希臘城邦 Phrygia 國王，宙斯在凡間的私生子。其名字可 能異化自*tal-talos,韻律重復，來自 PIE*tele,承受，忍受，支撐，詞源同 extol,tolerate.

Tantalus

Greek Tantalos, king of Phrygia, perhaps literally "the Bearer" or "the Sufferer," by dissimilation from *tal-talos, a reduplication of PIE root *tele- "to bear, carry, support" (see extol), in reference to his long endurance, but Watkins finds this "unlikely." Compare tantalize.
