What are your favorite divine punishments (or similar acts of aggression) perpetrated against mortals from mythology? I'm curious as to what you remember as being the most severe, or perverse, or poetic combinations of human crime and supernatural consequence.

". . .When Zeus realized the deception that Prometheus had fostered, he was furious. He had Hephaistos (Hephaestus) shackle Prometheus to the side of a crag, high in the Caucasus mountains. There Prometheus would hang until the fury of Zeus subsided.
Each day, Prometheus would be tormented by Zeus’ eagle as it tore at his immortal flesh and tried to devour his liver. Each night, as the frost bit it’s way into his sleep, the torn flesh would mend so the eagle could begin anew at the first touch of Eos (the Dawn)."
