What? Mothers having crushes on their sons or some guy pushing a rock up a hill and it just coming back down again, that happens a lot in greek myth? Either way I think the name of the guy I'm thinking of had part of a word that was easily recognized in English. It was like irony or agony or something like that. If the story were written today you would think, "Well that's a stupid name" but I think the word came from his name.
