Ovid, the famous Roman poet, references Sisyphus in the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, When Orpheus descends and confronts Hades and Persephone, he sings a song with the result of geting his wish of bringing Eurydice back. After this song is sung, Ovid shows how moving it was by nothing that Sisyphus sat on his rock to listen, the Latin wording being 'inque tuo sedisti Sisyphe, saxo.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Sisyphus Redux each line of music may be seen as a renewed attempt, by means of cunning stratagems or subtly altered initial conditions, to complete the task imposed by Zeus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuration: 8'. For the advanced player. Oversized score.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52925376987502,"sku":"EP72065","price":19.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/sisyphus-redux-edition-peters","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
