⚔️​ The Curse of the House of Atreus : Tantalus's Ultimate Test: Serving His Son to the Gods!  Despite being so intimate with the gods Tantalus wanted to know if they really were omniscient so he hatched a plot He invited the gods to his home on Mount Sipylus for a feast and made a stew out of his son Pelops to see if the gods really did know everything Immediately the gods knew what Tantalus had done all except Demeter who had recently had her daughter Persephone abducted by Hades and in her grief and being distracted as she was she took a bite of the stew eating Pelops' shoulder. #atreus #gods #history #worldhistory
