Sisyphus is a king from Greek mythology who is said to have cheated death subsequently angering the gods and as a result was punished in the underworld to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity. Everytime he rolls it up hades would make it roll away from him meaning he would have to restart the task over and over again . His story is most famously discussed by Albert camus a philosopher who hails sisyphus as an absurdist hero (absurdism FYI is the philosophy that everything is meaningless and irrational) . I haven't yet read any of camus' works so I can't go too into detail about how it links to the story or if it does at all but I personally think guwon is meant to represent sisyphus since I think (?) In the early chapters he talks about a boulder or something idk might have to reread . Hope this helped a little sorry if it didn't :((
You helped me a lot! Thank you for taking the time to explain the Sisyphus story
Does make me wonder if his task is to protect this town over and over and that every time he dies, hes being sewn together and then comes back and that is like how he cheats death
Im glad i could explain it well enough i also think that's a very interesting theory ...wonder how the moon connects to all this though ...
Can anyone actually tell me what is the actual story of Sisyphus and how is it being represent so far in the story? I saw a comment about a boulder and have no clue what its about
also definitely starting to sense end of season
