Abstract: We explore the connection between the equations describing Sisyphus dynamics and the generic Li'{e}nard type or Li'{e}nard equation from the viewpoint of branched Hamiltonians. The former provides the appropriate setting for classical time crystal being derivable from a higher order Lagrangian. However it appears the equations of Sisyphus dynamics have a close relation with the Li'{e}nard-II equation when expressed in terms of the `velocity' variable. Another interesting feature of the equations of Sisyphus dynamics is the appearance of velocity dependent "mass function" in contrast to the more commonly encountered position dependent mass. The consequences of such mass functions seem to have connections to cosmological time crystals .
