History

Sisyphus was the son of Aeolus and Enarete,[4] and the king of Corinth.[3]

He eventually died at some point in unrevealed circumstances.[4]

As one of Zeus' most hated, he was sent to Tartarus where he was punished by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, repeating this action for eternity, a punishment that kept on in the modern era.[2]

When Hercules came to Tartarus to save his father from Pluto, Pluto threatened to have his step-father Amphitryon to forever dangle by Sisyphus' loins.[5] The same day, the fight between Hercules and his shade caused the destruction of Sisyphus' stone, making him believe he was set him free, only to see a new rock magically appear before him.[1]

During the Chaos War, when the Chaos King assaulted Hell, Sisyphus was asked by Daimon Hellstrom to clear them a path out of Hell.[6]

Notes

Trivia

  • When Sisyphus' stone was destroyed, another one magically appeared with the sound "Sisy-Poof".[1]
