Sisyphus, the King of Corinth drew upon himself the wrath of the King of the gods and lord of the sky, Zeus. One day, he had seen a large eagle carrying a maiden to an island nearby. When Asopus, the river-god came by and informed him that his daughter Aegina had been carried away, he told him of what he had seen, as Zeus' animal is the eagle. When he died, he was punished by being made to eternally roll a rock uphill (which rolled back down upon him).
