In Greek mythology, the figure who pushes a wheel of fire around Hades as punishment is Sisyphus. He was a cunning king who cheated death and was condemned by the gods to eternally roll a heavy stone up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he reached the top. This punishment symbolizes the futility of trying to escape fate and the consequences of hubris. While the image of a wheel of fire specifically isn't standard in his myth, it reflects the torturous nature of his eternal punishment.
