The identity of his wife is variously given: Dione; or Eurythemista, a daughter of the river-god Xanthus; or Euryanassa, daughter of Pactolus, another river-god, or Clytia, the child of Amphidamantes.
The moral is that when you become to selfish, it affects more people than just you. After Tantalus died his evilness had been passed down to his daughter and then to her kids and their kids.
In Greek mythology, Niobe is the weeper of myth. Niobe was the daughter of Tantalus and her brothers were Pelops and Broteas.
Favored by the gods, Tantalus was allowed to dine with them. Taking advantage of this postition, he either made a meal for the gods of his son Pelops or he told other mortals the secrets of the gods which he had learned at their table. When Tantalus served Pelops to the gods, all except Demeter recognized the food for what it was and refused to eat, but Demeter, grieving for her lost daughter, was distracted and ate the shoulder.
