ABOUT THE SONG
\nIn Greek mythology, Sisyphus was the cunning founder and first king of Ephyra (now Corinth). He is famously remembered for his eternal punishment in Tartarus: he must push a massive boulder up a steep hill, only for it to roll back down just as it nears the summit, forcing him to repeat the task forever.<\/p>\n
The founder and king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He reveals Zeus’s abduction of Aegina to the river god Asopus, thereby incurring Zeus’s wrath. His subsequent cheating of death earns him eternal punishment in the underworld, once he dies of old age. The gods forced him to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. Through the classical influence on contemporary culture, tasks that are both laborious and futile are therefore described as Sisyphean<\/p>\n
