In Greek
"Tantalos" is an anagram of "Atlantos," which in Greek means "of Atlas."

There were two different traditions about Tantalus the son of Thyestes.  In one 
tradition, Tantalus was one of the children of Thyestes that Atreus killed and served 
to their father as dinner.   In the other tradition, Tantalus was Clytaemnestra's first 
husband.
