In Greek mythology, the figure bound to a flaming and spinning wheel in the underworld is Tantalus. He was punished for his crimes, which included stealing ambrosia from the gods and serving his son Pelops as a meal to them. As part of his eternal punishment, Tantalus faced the torment of hunger and thirst, unable to reach the food and drink that was perpetually out of his grasp, while the wheel symbolizes the relentless cycle of his suffering.
