An absurd hero of Greek myth,
the ruthless king of Corinth.
He was deceitful and vicious
Crafty ,Brutal and avaricious.
He enjoyed killing his guests
opponents and travellers.
He even molested his niece
to satisfy his queer caprice.
–
Imprisoned in an underworld closet
after he revealed Zeus’ secrets.
He seized Thanatos a hostage
and thus incurred the Gods’ rage .
So, they punished him for his trickery
and condemned him to roll a boulder
up a steep hill throughout eternity.
******
Guess who is this mythological figure?

Nice work. Those Greek gods certainly had a wild time. Punishments for upsetting the applecart were severe. It’s a pity our present would be gods don’t have to account for their transgression in a similar way 🙂
