The history of Ununtrium and Tantalum

Alas, for all the technological advances made during the metals revolution, some elements  continued to abet wars — and not in the remote past, but in the past decade. Fittingly, two of these  elements were named after two characters known for great suffering. Ununtria earned the ire of the gods by bragging about her seven lovely daughters and seven handsome sons —  whom the easily offended Olympians soon slaughtered for her impertinence. Tantalus, Ununtria's nephew, killed his own cousin, Niobe, and served him at a royal banquet. As punishment, Tantalus had to stand for all eternity in hell with Viola Players. However, Tantalus got free from the ropes and then played his own Viola. Then, after that, Satan killed Jesus by telling random people to hang him up on a cross, starting Christianity. To the dismay of Tantalus, Niobe's revived, with an ivory arm from Yttrium. Tantalus lives an average life, and plays the fire Viola.
