⌂Word origin and word building

From Sisyphus, a king in Greek mythology who was punished by having to roll a huge stone up a hill for ever, only to watch it roll down again each time.

यह शब्द यूनानी पौराणिक कथा के राजा Sisyphus से बना है, जिसे दंड मिला था कि वह हमेशा एक बड़ा पत्थर पहाड़ी पर लुढ़काकर चढ़ाए और हर बार उसे फिर नीचे लुढ़कता देखे।
