Is there a Greek myth of a man who has to push a bolder up a hill and every day he has to start over again? If so, what was his name? For some reason, I thought this was an Egyptian myth related to the dung beetle… What to the SD Masses say? I tried to Google, but found nothing. Still, I believe there is such a myth in classic Greek-Roman mythology , if not other cultures. - Jinx
Sisyphus.

[sub]Well, the OP was answered. And it sometimes feels that way to me. Just saying. [/sub]
Does that make this more of a poll? 
Yes, when the Greek writers wrote of the punishments in Tartarus (the Underworld) the three examples usually given were Ixion, pinned eternally to a fiery wheel; Tantalus, condemned to hunger and thirst for ever, with water which drained away when he bent to drink and bunches of grapes above his head always just out of his reach; and Sisyphus, rolling an enormous rock up a steep hill, the rock always slipping away just as he reached the top and tumbling down to the bottom again.
Hence a Sisyphean task, one which never gets finished, and the verb to tantalize.
In Egyptian myth, the sun was rolled across the sky by a dung-beetle, the sacred scarab, in the same manner as dung-beetles roll balls of dung across the ground.
Certainly involves dealing with a lot of bullshit as well.
Interesting. When I typed “greek myth boulder hill” into google, the first hit it came up with was Sisyphus. In fact, the first 4 hits were on that subject. FYI, I got pretty much the same thing when I misspelled “boulder” as “bolder”.
And, of course, the imagery was used by Albert Camus in his writings… among others.
There was the old joke about the couple who named their car “The Envy of Sisyphus” because it went uphill if you pushed it.
Some versions of the legend say that Sisyphus was told to roll a pebble to the top of the hill, but it grew larger the closer it got to the top. The parallels to relativity theory are obvious.
Scrooy, I’ve got a feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. 
Is that a Deathstar he’s rolling up the hill?
It looks like a Deathstar.
The Graeco-Roman religions believed in an after life, but they did not believe that everyone was judged and that the good went to Heaven and the evil to Hell.
The Greeks called the underworld Hades and they believed that everyone went there after dying. It was a sad place, but not a place of torture. There were some examples of people who had pissed off the gods and were condemned to eternal torture such as the ones described above, but they were the exceptions. As for Heaven, once in a while an exceptional human like Hercules could ascend to Heaven, but that was it.
The Christian Churches discovered that the myth of Hell could be used to bully and terrify people into obdience. So they tuned Hades froma sad place of wandering souls to a enormous torture chamber.
Maybe it’s Darth Sisyphus.
As the plane takes off, Samclem and Scrooy watch the usual suspects being rounded up… 
And for “myth boulder hill”. Hell, if you just type in “myth hill”, the wikipedia article on Sisyphus is the second link. I can’t even imagine what you’d have to type in to NOT gets relevant results, but I guess our OP managed, as usual.
Reminds me of a highly-missed sitcom, NewsRadio, in which Matthew once described Wile E. Coyote as a “latter-day Sisyphus”.
Good times.
I simply copied the following from the OP,
“Greek myth of a man who has to push a bolder up a hill”
I pasted it on Google’s search and the first response was
“One of his best known stories is The Myth of Sisyphus, and Camus chose the … Let’s celebrate that the weather allows us to push a boulder up the hill. …”
and I thought I was a jinx?
Well, ain’t you just the cat’s meow of Google? For goodness sake, must I post a bibliography for what I googled on? If it pleases you, I couldn’t spell the blessed Greek name worth squat - which was merely a vague memory at best, anyhow - and arrived at references to Star Wars. Ok? Does that suit you? Sheesh, why do we have the SD, anyway now that Google is here? Perhaps, Uncle Cecil is, indeed, Google? - Jinx
Correct and proper use of Google wouldn’t have given us the Sisyphus graphic.
While I’m here, can anyone tell me why Prometheus wasn’t summarily despatched to Tartarus for his indiscretions, alongside Sisyphus, Ixion and Tantalus? Why was his fluctuating liver punishment deemed to be worthy of a more public exhibition?
