Jim Haberl Hut, an alpine hut located in Tantalus Range near Squamish, British Columbia
The name is for Ixion, the Greek mythological character related to Tantalus, as the mineral contains tantalum.
Niobe, daughter of Tantalus and Dione and sister of Pelops and Broteas, had known Arachne, a Lydian woman, when she was still in Lydia/Maeonia in her father's lands near to Mount Sipylus, according to Ovid's account.
It has been suggested that there could be another personality named Tmolus, a mythical king of Lydia, a son of Sipylus and Chthonia, and the husband of Plouto and stepfather of Tantalus.
