In ancient Greek mythology, there is a story.
Sisyphus was punished by the great god for breaking the law in heaven and descended to the world to suffer. The punishment for him was: to push a stone up the mountain.
Every day, Sisyphus pushed the stone to the top of the hill with great difficulty, and then went home to rest, but in the evening the stone rolled down on its own, so the next day he had to push the stone up the hill again. In this way, Sisyphus was faced with a never-ending defeat. The great god wanted to punish Sisyphus, that is, to torture his mind and make him suffer in a fate of "never-ending failure".
However, Sisyphus still refused to accept his fate, and every time, when he pushed the stone up the mountain, the great god struck him and told him that it was impossible to succeed. Sisyphus refused to be trapped in the trap of success and failure, and thought to himself: it is my duty to push the stone up the mountain, as long as I push the stone to the top of the mountain, my duty will be fulfilled, and it is not my business whether the stone will roll down or not.
Further, when Sisyphus pushed the stone up the hill with all his might, he seemed very calm in his heart, because he comforted himself: there will be stones to push tomorrow, there will be no unemployment tomorrow, and there will be hope tomorrow.
The great god could no longer punish Sisyphus, so he let him go back to heaven.
The fate of Sisyphus can explain many things that have happened to us in life, and Sisyphus's efforts can also be a portrayal of our hard work.

Greek mythology pushes the stone is about Sisyphus, a figure in Greek mythology, similar to the more tragic King Oedipus, who was the founder and king of Corinth. He even kidnapped the Grim Reaper at one point, leaving the world without death. Eventually, Sisyphus offended the gods, who punished him by asking him to push a boulder up to the top of the mountain, and because the boulder was so heavy, he rolled down the mountain every time he didn't reach the top, and he did it again and again, without end—and the gods thought that there was no more severe punishment than to perform such ineffectual and hopeless labor.
Sisyphus's life was slowly consumed in such an ineffective and hopeless toil.
According to Homer's epic poems, Sisyphus was the most resourceful man on earth, the founder and king of Corinth. When Zeus kidnapped Aegina, the daughter of the river god Aesopus, and the river god went to Corinth to find her daughter, Sisyphus, who learned of this, told him in exchange for a river that flowed all year round. By revealing Zeus's secrets, Zeus sent the Grim Reaper to take him to hell.
Unexpectedly, Sisyphus kidnapped the Grim Reaper with a trick, resulting in no one dying in the world for a long time, until the Grim Reaper was rescued, and Sisyphus was also sent to the underworld.
Before being sent to the underworld, Sisyphus instructed his wife, Merope, not to bury his body. Upon arriving in the Underworld, Sisyphus told Persephone that an unburied person was not entitled to stay in the Underworld, and asked for three days off to deal with his own affairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as Sisyphus saw the beautiful land, he didn't want to go back to Hades.
After his death, Sisyphus was sent to hell, where every day he pushed a large heavy stone up a very steep mountain, then took a step out to the side, and then watched the big stone roll down to the bottom of the mountain. Sisyphus was to repeat this meaningless action forever and without any hope.
His only choice was the rock and the mountain.

It was Sisyphus who pushed the stones.
Sisyphus, the son of Ethiopia, was the most treacherous of all mankind. He established and ruled the beautiful city-state of Kozhentos in the narrow strip between the two countries. For his betrayal of Zeus, he was sent to hell after his death to be punished.
Every morning, he had to carry a heavy boulder from the rest of the land to the top of the mountain. Whenever he thought he had moved to the top of the mountain, the stones suddenly rolled down the hillside. The wicked Sisyphus had to turn back and move the stone, and climb the hill with great difficulty.
