Sisyphus had been an avaricious King of Corinth. He tricked the gods and even death as long as he could. After death he was punished: throughout eternity he was required to roll a marble block to the top of a hill only to have it plunge back down just as it reached the crest.

∙ 13y agoSisyphus, the King of Corinth drew upon himself the wrath of the King of the gods and lord of the sky, Zeus. One day, he had seen a large eagle carrying a maiden to an island nearby. When Asopus, the river-god came by and informed him that his daughter Aegina had been carried away, he told him of what he had seen, as Zeus' animal is the eagle. When he died, he was punished by being made to eternally roll a rock uphill (which rolled back down upon him).
