   Sisyphus torment is referred to as a herculean or Sisyphean task.

   If you don’t mean Sisyphean, no idea. If we’re going for Greco-Roman eponyms, though, how’s Pyrrhic?

   I love your website! It happily ends my “sysiphean” quest of an easy way to learn the origin of words. Not to mention I never knew that a “philologist” was one that studies the origin of texts and their authenticity. I have always found words fascinating and this fascination goes far deeper than how a word cam to be, but what led up to the creation of the word. Coffee for instance, what a benign word for such an important part of the day. If I may request a word for the future, I would love to know the history of fascinate.
