    Tantalus: The new activities director of Camp Half-Blood. He is a pale, horribly thin man. He had blue shadow under his eyes, dirty fingernails, and badly cut gray hair. He is a spirit from the Fields of Punishment, the one who stands in the lake with the fruit tree hanging over him, but he can't eat or drink.

    Memorable Quotes by Tantalus:

    “"I like to say what a pleasant form of punishment it is to be here. Over the course of the summer, I hope to torture, er, interact with each and every one of you children. You all look good enough to eat."”
