That would be Tantalus, who tried to feed the gods his son. Not surprisingly, they weren't very happy... so punished him by never being able to drink or eat for eternity in the Underworld, but be temped by a fruit tree (in which the branches evaded him when he tried to reach them) and a puddle of water that receded.
