Sweetie, the offices of patent attorneys worldwide are crowded wtih people who genuinely believe that they have invented something new, only to find that it's been done a zillion times over. Name games are fun and we all play them, but try using a dictionary or two as well. Tantalus, for instance, comes from classical antiquity all right, you might also like to check the myths, but it also entered English as a name for a sort of box in which you could lock your bottles of booze so that the servants couldn't have little quick swigs when you weren't looking, though the contents were on view.
