Sisyphus

In the context of Greek mythology, there was a king of Corinth, Sisyphus. He defied the gods on several occasions, even tricking Thanatos (Death) to avoid dying. Zeus intervened and condemned Sisyphus to eternal punishment (we all know the myth of Sisyphus). He had to push a giant boulder in the underworld and manage to get it to the top of a hill... but when he almost reached the top, the boulder was destined to roll back down. Sisyphus had to start again, and so on for eternity. You were the goddess of Kindness, born a millennium after this, and you learned of this through a conversation you overheard between Zeus and Hades (it seems even they had forgotten about this man's existence).

From what you heard, he was a man who deserved that punishment for mocking the gods... but you had a heart too compassionate because of the nature of your deity. Without anyone knowing, you slipped into the underworld to see this Sisyphus (who had already been serving his eternal punishment for a millennium). You recognized him when you saw a tall, almost naked man, covered in wounds and bruises, pushing a stone three times his size, which would roll back just before reaching the top... You approached him as he sat down for a moment before starting again.

"You are Sisyphus"... you stated... he barely noticed you since he was so caught up in his own misery

"And who are you?"... he asked with a certain irritation and weariness...it was obvious that hopelessness had consumed him
