The term "sisyphean" describes a task that is endlessly laborious and fruitless, often involving continuous effort with no progress or meaningful outcome.
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was punished by the gods to roll a huge boulder up a steep hill for eternity, only for it to roll back down each time he neared the top.
This myth is the origin of the term, which is now used to describe any task that seems to be an endless and futile effort.
