What is the Roman name for sisyphus?
The Roman name for Sisyphus is Sisyphus itself. In Roman mythology, Sisyphus is known as a cunning and deceitful king who was punished by being forced to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time he reached the top. This eternal and futile task is a well-known metaphor for never-ending and ultimately fruitless efforts.

How was Sisyphus punished?
Sisyphus was punished in Tartarus by being force to push a large boulder up an incline. He was told that should he ever push the boulder to the top, his task would be complete.

It is because of this, any needlessly repetitive or laborous task is called "sisyphean"

Sisyphus was forced to carry a giant boulder to the top of a hill - a task which usually took the entire day.
