Sisyphus in Hades

Authors: Clark M. Thomas

The somewhat mythological King Sisyphus of Corinth in Greece was the subject of a unique punishment issued by an angry Zeus. Sisyphus was condemned to roll a giant rock up a mountain in Hades. That rock would then roll all the way back down just before they reached the top, requiring infinite repetitions without any reward. That’s the skeleton of this story, but there is much more within his mythological life relevant to modern science and philosophy.
