The Myth of Sisyphus:
Once upon a time in ancient Greece, there was a cunning king named Sisyphus. He ruled over the city of Corinth and was known far and wide for his cleverness. But Sisyphus wasn’t just smart; he was also incredibly crafty and deceitful, often tricking both gods and men to get what he wanted.
One day, Sisyphus did something that no mortal should dare—he tricked Death itself. When Death came to take him away, Sisyphus managed to trap Death in chains, which meant that no one could die. This, as you can imagine, caused chaos everywhere. The gods were furious. Eventually, they forced Sisyphus to release Death, and when it was finally Sisyphus’ turn to die, the gods had a special punishment in store for him.
As a penalty for his trickery, Sisyphus was condemned to an eternal task in the underworld. He was to push a massive boulder up a steep hill. But just as he would near the top, the boulder would always roll back down, forcing him to start all over again. This endless cycle of pushing the boulder up the hill only for it to fall back down became Sisyphus’ eternal fate.
