This one is wild. The fruit tree looks alive. There must be a deeper meaning to him being half submerged in water. I am enjoying speculating on the possibilities. 

Yeah, for some reason, the tree became more alive, the greater the percentage...the 50% version just became a human tree lol

As for the symbolism of water, I don't know if there is a deeper meaning, other than it giving life to the fruit tree, so he is literally waist-deep in what he can no longer enjoy.

Tantalus was punished by the gods for stealing their secrets but most notably for killing his own son, cooking him for a feast, and serving him to the gods. For this outrage, he was cast into Hades, and his endless appetite would be his eternal punishment. He was forced to stand submerged in a pool of water, with a nearby fruit tree offering its fruits, but every time he reached for it, it would bend away from his grasp. He spends eternity being teased by the prospect of food, only to never get it. This is why we call such a situation "tantalizing."

This one was made on Bing using DALL-E 3 (20% noise).

This is part of a series dedicated to famous punishments in Greek myth, dedicated in particular to two fans of such works: @Diomedes and @POP-WIZARD .

This one adds some wonderful scope to the image. The statues, or other denizens are quite spooky, and act as silent judges to his suffering. I meant to tell you that I have an Olympus series that is a ways down on my page. It is just under my first pulp series titled 'SPACE'. You man enjoy it if you haven't seen it already. I had a lot of fun doing it. 

I'll probably check that out! I am not sure if I saw it or not.

I would say it is more a story of hubris. He is a son of Zeus and essentially loses all self-control, thinking himself one of the gods. But he is not; he is mortal and he lives for his appetites only, with no honour.
