Thirsty Without a Mouth
from Lucian's Dialogues of the Dead: The Underworld Sitcom
Menippus finds Tantalus weeping by the lake and asks the practical question: what does a soul without a body need a drink for? Tantalus explains that this is precisely the punishment — to thirst as though he had a body. Menippus, gently and without mockery, observes that the problem appears to be the wanting, not the water. The pathos is real; the practicality is the comedy. Cast: Menippus, Tantalus.
