Real history info
There may have been a historical Tantalus, possibly the ruler of an Anatolian city named "Tantalís", "the city of Tantalus", or of a city named "Sipylus".
He was the father of Pelops, Niobe and Broteas, and was a son of Zeus and the nymph Plouto.
Tantalus is sometimes referred to as "King of Phrygia", although his city was located in the western extremity of Anatolia, where Lydia was to emerge as a state before the beginning of the first millennium BC, but there is no doubt that he was Greek.
