Thesean task: no part of your original plan or instructions will remain by the time it's done.

Hermetian task: your entire job is to courier messages back and forth between other people.

Odyssean task: the vast majority of your time will be spent on sidetracks.

@IanDSmith

Promethean task: what you will do will have enormous positive impact and lots of people will be very grateful but you know you will be punished harshly for it anyway by your boss

Persean task: you have rashly committed to this task but will still be able to look at yourself in the mirror afterwards

Minotaurian task: you will be able to accomplish your task hanging in there by a thread

@deafferret @faassen @IanDSmith @tbaxter some of those are good, others are wordplay more than really in the spirit of the myth (Poseidean). I'm impressed with how many replies here have come up with unique ones!
