What is your interpretation of the punishment of Tantalus, described in paragraphs 12-13? "Typically, the gods punished those who were bad. For example, Tantalus, who killed his own son and served
him to the gods for dinner, was sent to Hades and made forever thirsty and hungry. Although there was a pool
of clear, fresh drinking water at his feet, whenever Tantalus bent down to drink, the pool would dry up and
disappear. Likewise, over his head hung the most delicious fruit. However, whenever Tantalus reached for them, a wind
would blow them just out of his reach. The English word “tantalize” derives from the name Tantalus."
Do you think it indicates the presence of a cruel impulse among the ancient Greeks?

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
