Limos, the goddess of famine, breathed into Erysichthon's mouth and cursed him with insatiable, inhuman hunger. Why? Because he cut down a dryad's tree. This killed the dryad. He ended up eating himself. The gods don't play.

Rubens, "The Fall of Phaeton"
Phaeton begged his father Helios to let him pilot the chariot of the sun. This ended badly. Phaeton lost control and Zeus had to kill him to prevent the world from burning.
