History & Etymology
Tantalus
Tantalus (Greek Τάνταλος) was the ruler of a city called either under his name, as "Tantalis", "the city of Tantalus", or as "Sipylus", in reference to Mount Sipylus at the foot of which his city was located and whose ruins were reported to be still visible in the beginning of the Common Era, although few traces remain today. In Greek mythology he was the father of Pelops, Niobe and Broteas, and a son of Zeus and the nymph Plouto.
The oxide Ta2O5 is insoluble in acid, and was unable, just as the mythological Tantalos in the Hades, "to quench his thirst"
Ytterby
Ytterby, a village in Sweden on the island of Resarö, close to Vaxholm (east of Stockholm) is a deposit of many unusual minerals, containing rare earth and other elements. A Chronological list of discovery of the rare earths and their names and information and illustrations of Ytterby's quarry and a location map is on the Rare Earths page.
