Sisyphus

Sisyphus is a character from Greek mythology famous for his eternal punishment of rolling a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he reaches the top. This myth serves as a profound allegory for the human condition and the struggle against the inevitable nature of death. Sisyphus was punished by the gods for his cunning and deceitful behavior, particularly for cheating death, illustrating themes of hubris and the futility of human effort.
