Yarik Kaya - Tantalus Tomb

  Pausanias: Now that the Tantalus is buried here who was the son of Thyestes or Broteas （both accounts are given） and married Clytaemnestra before Agamemnon did, I will not gainsay; but the grave of him who legend says was son of Zeus and Pluto—it is worth seeing—is on Mount Sipylus. I know because I saw it. Moreover, no constraint came upon him to flee from Sipylus, such as afterwards forced Pelops to run away when Ilus the Phrygian launched an army against him¹.
