Sisyphus

Sisyphus is a figure from Greek mythology, known for his endless and futile task. According to the myth, he was condemned by the gods to roll a large boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he reached the top. This punishment symbolizes the struggle of human existence and the idea of perpetual labor without reward. Sisyphus has become a metaphor for life's challenges and the search for meaning, often interpreted in philosophical discussions about resilience and the human condition, particularly in the works of existentialist thinkers like Albert Camus.
