In his quest, Perseus meets up with Sisyphus, the fabulous trickster of ancient Greece.


Sisyphus was doomed to push a rock uphill for all eternity - without using his hands!

Diogenes interceeded for him, seeking help from Perseus and his simple machines.

Perseus tried to help him, with a song...

Sisyphus' Story...

Sisyphus enjoyed getting away with all kinds of tricks, but his growing self-confidence got him in big trouble.

Sisyphus tried to steal Zeus’ thunderbolts. Imagine what happened when Zeus caught him, red-handed. No one should try to cheat the king of the gods!

Zeus sentenced Sisyphus to push a rock up a hill for eternity! Whenever he gets to the top of the hill, the rock rolls down the other side. But get this... he is not allowed to use his hands!

 What a terrible way to spend your eternity!  However, with Perseus' help, there's a happy solution.
