@cobaltduck Your reference suggests that "Sisyphean" should be capitalized. Your answer is also my favorite.

@MarkHubbard There are many such adjectives that do not have an initial capital: erotic (< Eros), draconian (< Draco), narcissistic (< Narcissus), etc. Usually the more popular the word, the more likely it is to be in lower case.
