THE TANTALOS MYTH
There is a place called Tepekule where the remains of themonumental tomb of King Tantalos, were supposedly found.
Tantalos was one of the rare people who received an invitation to the dining table of the Gods. He was always withthem without having been invited. One day, Tantalos called theGods for a feast. As he was really sincere with them, he didn’tsee any inconvenience in testing them. He had his son killed andbutchered his body. His aim was to test the Gods. He wanted tosee if they could understand what they were about to eat. Zeus, who understood that the meat on the table was human meat, accepted this as an insult, because Tantalos went too far and had to be punished. Zeus sent Tantalos to a hellish prison. Here, he was submerged up to his belly. The water was so pure that onecould drink it completely. And over his head, there were kinds of fruits hanging. Appealing grapes, apples, pomegranates, pearswere there. Tantalos wanted to drink some water. Whenever he wanted , this pure water drained away and disappeared.

When he was hungry , he tried to reach the fruits. Whenever he tried to straighten up and reach up with his hands he tossedthem away. He was in water but thirsty, he was surrounded byfruit but he was hungry. This was the punishment which wasgiven by the Gods. This was more than a punishment; it was a torture in response to his disrespect. This is called the torture of Tantalos. ( In English there is a word ‘ tantalize’ which means totease someone by offering something desirable but keeping it out of reach. This word is derived from this story.)

THE CAVE OF SEVEN SLEEPERSThe cave, whose story is also told in the Holy Koran, is visited bya lot of people from every religion. 7 young Christian boys, wholived in the period of Emperor Decius, ran away from the city andhid themselves in this cave as they refused to submit to thepersecutions of the Emperor. These boys fell asleep. After theywere awakened , they went into the town to buy some food andthen , they understood that they had slept not for a night but 200 years(according to Islamic faith 309 years) and they learnedthat Christianity had been spread to every part of the Roman Empire.After learning about the news, the Emperor TheodosiusII accepted this as an indicator of ‘resurrection’ the belief in which the human soul comes back to life after death. After these7 young men had passed away, a big funeral ceremony was heldand a church was built on the cave where they were buried.
