Sisiphyus

+**Sisiphyus** (alternate spelling of [Sisyphus](/wiki/sisyphus)) is a legendary figure from ancient [Greek mythology](/wiki/greek_mythology). Doomed by the gods, he is condemned to an eternal task: pushing a massive boulder up a steep hill, only for it to roll back down each time he nears the summit, a potent symbol of endless, [futile labor](/wiki/futile_labor).
