ABOUT SISYPHUS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY:
Sisyphus was the founder of Corinth and one of the most crafty and deceitful characters in Greek mythology. He violated the laws of hospitality, seduced his niece, took his brother's throne, betrayed Zeus' secrets, tricked and chained the god of death, and escaped the underworld through his trickery. For his crimes against the Gods, Sisyphus was severely punished, condemned for all eternity to roll a boulder uphill only to watch it roll back down again. His perpetual action is called a "Sisyphean task" or "Sisyphean challenge".
