HELLO???!??

sisyphus was a tyrannical king known for killing his own guests (breaking hospitality laws) and also for chaining thanatos (death) therefore causing death to temporarily cease on earth. it was one of the many reasons he was forced to roll the boulder up the hill for all of eternity. never fully being able to ever escape his punishment. so clearly they're both trapped in some sort of loop.

oh this is mad cool i only correlated the loop part, being forced to do something for eternity
