"Bowl Of Shoulder Soup"
Cannibalism has been one of the biggest sins in Greek times. Former king, Tantalus, wanted to test the God's power of observation. Tantalus chopped up his son, Pelops, and fed him to the Gods. Tantalus didn't think the Gods would notice that they were going to eat a mortal. Just in time, the Gods realized what Tantalus had done. Punishing Tantalus, the Gods sentence him to a life in the underworld, to be withheld from food and water forever.
As for Pelops, the Gods felt bad for Pelops so they put him back together. The only part they were missing was Pelops' shoulder, which they replaced with ivory.
