At the last part of the story, Erysichthon's life comes to it's end. His selfish needs got him cursed with everlasting hunger (by yours truly). This hunger could not be satisfied by anything, as he soon found
out. Eating more made him long for even more food. Finally, he ate his own flesh in an attempt to fulfill the appetite. The cannibalism soon took the man, the one who tried to cut down my tree, out of his misery.
We learn to respect nature for what it is, and to not be arrogant. Erysichthon believed he was better than my grove and the people worshipping it, and figured he could cut down my magical and special oak tree for his own purposes. This behavior is what caused him to get cursed, and eventually killed him.
