Changes

Most stories told about the former King of Corinth relate that he remained in the underworld and is still rolling a huge rock up a sheer hill. However, other legends state that Zeus relented and allowed him to return to the world of men. In one story, it is told that Sisyphus is the father of Odysseus. Both men were renowned for their craftiness and cunning, and this may have led some poets or mythographers to suppose that they were father and son.

The story of Sisyphus is one that has fascinated people for millennia. This is evident in the many artworks on the legendary figure, and he even appears in the Odyssey of Homer.<ref>Homer, The Odyssey, vi</ref> There are many interpretations of Sisyphus's story. Some believe that the legends warn all kings who were tyrants and who did not obey the divine laws.
