The Myth Of Sisyphus

Sisyphus, king of Corinth, challenged the monopoly. Of gods over the heavens, salvation, and life endless Deciding to teach him a lesson perpetually Gods imposed upon him a punishment that seemed senseless. Sisyphus had to roll a rock from the foot of a hill. To the top of the same, and then drop it to the bottom. He had to, then, roll it again and repeat the task till Life sticks to his physique and psyche to the least quantum Sisyphus did not resist but performed it, the myth says. He found fulfilment and even enjoyed this tireless toil. The gods, as they failed after testing him in all the ways Retreated, as hibernating snakes within themselves coil Character, confidence, vision, and mission bring laurels. Doesn't the myth of Sisyphus grant us many more morals?
