Ixion, king of the Lapiths bound to a winged fiery wheel that was always spinning. Tantalus, aka Atys, Greek mythological figure made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches, with the fruit ever eluding his grasp, and the water always receding before he could take a drink.
