		Tantalus himself, the man punished with perpetual frustration for filching ambrosia from the gods, does not appear.
		His ascetic free verse is rhetorical and expository but discomfortingly barren of metaphor or imagery: the line is often little more than an unornamented conveyor of meaning.
		Given that Tantalus purports to be the most tantalising story ever told, it is strange that the spoken word should prove to be its Achilles heel.

		His torture was that he had to stand forever waist-deep in a pool of water, with a fruit tree dangling branches full of ripe fruit over his head.
