The story of Sisyphus is one of the most well-known in Greek mythology. 

My favorite part is the end. Most people think the gods punished him by making him push a huge boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down every time — forever.

But the truth is, he chose it.

Oh, there is so much to analyze here... Did Hermes actually offer him a choice, or did he, given Sisyphus' vanity, knew in advance what he would pick?

God sounds like trump. You are so good at cheating, you deserve another chance to do it once again ....

Wasn't he punished tho? https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.9.3&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:book=1:chapter=9&highlight=Sisyphus
