Sisyphus in Wikipedia

In Greek mythology Sisyphus (pronounced /ˈsɪsəfəs/; Greek: Σίσυφος sísypʰos /ˈsisifos/ ( listen)) was a king punished by being compelled to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity. He is also found in Roman mythology. The word sisyphean means, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, "endless and unavailing, as labor or a task."...
