Description

The Myth of Sisyphus (Greek Mythology) Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth), renowned for his cleverness and deceitful nature. He often tricked the gods and defied their authority. His most infamous act was cheating death—not once, but twice. First, he chained Thanatos (the personification of Death), preventing mortals from dying. Later, he managed to return from the underworld by deceiving Persephone. The gods, enraged by his arrogance and defiance of the natural order, sentenced him to a unique and eternal punishment. In the underworld, Sisyphus was condemned to push a massive boulder up a steep hill. But just as he reached the summit, the stone would roll back down, forcing him to begin again. This endless, futile labor would continue for all eternity. The myth serves as a powerful symbol of repetitive struggle and the human confrontation with meaninglessness—a theme later explored by Albert Camus in his philosophical essay The Myth of Sisyphus, where he presents Sisyphus as the absurd hero who defies despair by embracing his fate.
