Sisyphus is king of Corinth. He is very clever and he liked to trick other people. So he tricked lots of God even Zeus. His father is king of wind, and he is Odysseus father.
When Zeus kidnapped Asopides(God of river) daughter. Sisyphus told to Asopides, and he got water from Asopides for prize. So Zeus was angry because Sisyphus told his secret and bother him. So he called Thanatos (God of Death) and told him "bring Sisyphus to underworld". But when Thanatos came to Sisyphus, Sisyphus tricked to him. So he locked Thanatos, so nobody was died because God of death locked. So Zeus was angrier than before, because Sisyphus bothered God's work. So Ares went to Sisyphus and brought him to Hades where in underworld, and saved Thanatos.
But Sisyphus told to his wife before he went to underworld, "Don't bury me after I go to underworld". So when he met Hades he told his wife didn't bury him so he should go back to bury and come again. Then Hades's wife Persephone released him, but Sisyphus never came back until he died because of his age. After he died, he got punished to Zeus. It was rolled the rock until top of mountains. But when he almost finish, rock fell down so he should do this work infinitely.
