Fruitless effort
The classics are full of heroic gestures. Fruitless efforts, but part of the character of anyone who would be remembered forever. King Canute ordering the waves to cease. Don Quixote (Kee-ho-tay, not Quicks-ott) tilting at windmills. Sisyphus rolling rocks uphill. And my personal favourite; the man with the leafblower. A warrior against countless enemies.
