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).

How does sisyphus triangle compare to the Bermuda triangle?

The Sisyphus Triangle is an imaginary place in Airborn, a novel by Kenneth Oppel. The book is an alternative history so a few things have been changed. This triangle is essentially the same as the Bermuda Triangle in "our world" but is situated in the air as the story revolves around a cruise ship (similar to a blimp) that flies. I think it does connect with the myth as the ships can get trapped in the triangle. Sisyphus is from mythology, condemned to push a large rock up a hill and watch it roll down again, to push it up and watch it roll down again for ever and ever. Nothing to do with a triangle
