Aegina was kidnapped by a huge eagle. Aegina is the Aesopus' daughter. Aesopus is the god-river. Sisyphus saw the kidnapping and past some days was sought for Aesopus, with who he made a deal. Aesopus asked for information about Aegina's kidnap. Sisyphus said Aesopus where he could find his daughter.In exchange, Aesopus gave birth to a font that was named as Pirene in Corinth.
The eagle, the most famous symbol of Zeus, were soonly found out being the god. Thanks to that, Zeus got berzerk and sent Thanatos to get Sisyphus and send him to the depths of Tartarus, chained forever. But Sisyphus were smarter than death and cheated it for the first time. Sisyphus told Thanatos that it was beatiful and gave it a "gift": a ring that in fact were a trap. For years and years, no one died, infuriating Hades and Ares.
The gods of war and underworld needed people to die: One in many wars around Greece and other to have souls in it's realm. So both of them found out where Thanatos were and set it free, so he could kill all people and things that needed to be dead. While that, Sisyphus run away and lived longer.
The years passed and Death came to Sisyphus, but he had pitched a plan: Told his wife not to bury him. When he reached Hades, he told the goddess Persephone, that found his soul ashore the River Styx, how disrespectful was his wife. So she sent him back to torment her and to have his body buried, but he ran away again, cheating Death for the second time.
Years passes and he dies. Now, after two millennia, he reached the mark of millionth time rolling up a huge marble rock on a hill, that every time rolls down again, forcing him to roll it up all the way again.
