The Myth of Sisyphus – Doomed to Rock and Roll for Eternity!
In Greek mythology Sisyphus was the greedy and conniving king and founder of Ephyra (now known as Corinth in the Peloponnese).
To prove his power, Sisyphus would slay visitors and travellers just for fun.
Once there, Sisyphus was forced to roll a huge boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll down every time it neared the top, condemning Sisyphus to a life of eternal useless efforts and frustration.
Albert Camus (1913 -1960) French author and philosopher, thought life to be meaningless and absurd, he went on to compare the absurdness with the myth of Sisyphus.
Camus raises the question; “Can we live without any hope that life is meaningful, without the despair which leads to thoughts of taking one’s own life?
