中英词源

Tantalus 坦塔罗斯

古希腊神话中的人物，传说中为古希腊城邦 Phrygia 国王，宙斯在凡间的私生子。其名字可能异化自*tal-talos,韵律重复，来自 PIE*tele,承受，忍受，支撑，词源同 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.
