Information

Sisyphus

Sisyphus (Greek: Σίσυφος, Sísyphos) was a king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth) in Greek mythology, who was punished for his chronic deceitfulness. He was condemned by the gods to repeatedly roll a massive boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down, repeating this action for eternity. This task is often used as a metaphor for a futile or endless task. In Hebrew, Sisyphus is known as סיסיפוס. The myth of Sisyphus has been interpreted and reimagined in various cultures and literary works, most notably in Albert Camus' essay "The Myth of Sisyphus," where the absurdity of the punishment is explored as a metaphor for the human condition. The name Sisyphus is derived from the Greek word sisyphein, meaning "to quench one's thirst," though the exact connection to the myth is unclear. In French, he is known as Sisyphe, and in Latin as Sisyphus.
