The element named after the daughter of Tantalus is niobium. It was originally known as "columbium" but was officially renamed to niobium in 1949 by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The name change was made to avoid confusion with a similar element, tantalum, which is also named after Tantalus.

The name "Tantalus" is the origin of the English verb "to tantalize". The underlying idea is that when someone is tantalized, that person goes through the same experience as Tantalus: something desirable is always just out of that person's reach.

Tantalus had the brilliant idea one day to chop up his son Pelops and feed him to the gods as an offering. Demeter ended up eating one of Pelops' shoulders, but the gods resurrected him and Hephaestus made him an ivory one. Tantalus later stole food from Mount Olympus. As punishment for his atrocities, Tantalus is forever tantalized in the Underworld by water that recedes when he tries to drink and fruit that is always just out of his reach.

Favored by the gods, Tantalus was allowed to dine with them. Taking advantage of this postition, he either made a meal for the gods of his son Pelops or he told other mortals the secrets of the gods which he had learned at their table. When Tantalus served Pelops to the gods, all except Demeter recognized the food for what it was and refused to eat, but Demeter, grieving for her lost daughter, was distracted and ate the shoulder.

Tantalus was not a god. He was a mortal king. The Gods liked him so they invited him to Olympus. He tried to take Nectar and Ambrosia (God Food) from the Gods and they banished him. Everyone made fun of him, even his own children. He killed his kids and put them in the foods. Tantalus invited the Gods to his palace and have dinner with him. When the Gods realized the kids were in the food, they punished him in the Underworld by making him stand in a river but could never drink and a fruit tree above him but could never eat.

The one Zeus imposed on Tantalus for trying to trick the gods into eating human flesh.
Tantalus not only murdered his infant son, Pelops, but boiled up the baby for the main course in a banquet for the gods. To pay for this transgression, Zeus condemned Tantalus to stand forever in a pond that came up to his chin, but which would recede any time Tantalus tried to take a drink. This sounds like a damp sentence to serve, if you ask me.
Just out of reach above him is a fruit-laden branch that rises away from his hand any time he tries to pick a fruit. Hence Tantalus is remembered as the root of the verb "to tantalize," which means to tempt with something just out of reach.
