+
+## Orphean task
+
+When you almost succeed, but lose everything the moment you turn around to check your progress.
+
+## Daedalean task
+
+When you’re forced to design something brilliant and functional… that you yourself will inevitably become trapped inside.
+
+## Medusan task
+
+When your project becomes so horrifying that everyone involved freezes in place rather than deal with it.
+
+## Tantaline task
+
+When success is right there, but bureaucracy or budget cuts keep snatching it away at the last moment, forever.
+
+## Pandoran task
+
+When fixing one small issue unleashes a thousand new ones, but hey — at least there’s still hope somewhere in the ticket backlog.
+
+## Odyssean task
+
+When the assignment technically has an end, but it’s buried under so many side quests that you forget what the original goal was.
+
+## Narcissian task
+
+When the entire effort is about maintaining appearances rather than achieving anything of substance.
+
+## Promethean task
+
+When you give people a powerful new tool that could transform their work — and are punished eternally for doing so.
+
+## Orestian task
+
+When the mess you’re cleaning up is the direct result of the last cleanup you performed.
+
+## Thesean task
+
+When the only way to finish is to disassemble everything piece by piece — until you’re no longer sure if what’s left is the same project you started.
+
+## Achillean task
+
+When your work is flawless except for that one fatal oversight that will, inevitably, destroy you.
+
+## Penelopean task
+
+When you diligently undo by night what you accomplish by day, just to keep the stakeholders pacified.
+
+## Midasean task
+
+When everything you touch turns into paperwork, compliance documents, or gold-plated nonsense nobody actually needs.
+
+## Gordian task
+
+Not intended to be actually done, but violence is the answer.
