Why does he do it?

>>24562946 (OP)
because he is shitty mythology, read Virgil and Ovid instead

he's escaped before and he knows he will escape again

>>24563007
Escape isn't abolition.

>>24562946 (OP)
He's happy to do it.

The gods forced him. A bit overboard, but he was also a cunt, so...

>>24563007
Based.

>>24563053
I mean he kind of asked for it.
His gods are the kind that will instantly appear before, turn you into an insect and crush you if you even just dare to whisper to somebody in private that you maybe think that you, you know, play the flute pretty well and you kind of, ha ha, just saying, maybe play, like, as well as Apollo.

>>24563007

>>24563097

>I, a human, am comparable to a god
the kind of hubris that merits eternal torment

I agree, that's why I'm suprised Sisyphus only got to push a rock with everything he did.

for the view
i'd like to imagine that he's chained to the rock and isn't physically forced to push, he's just forced to push it with him if he wishes to see the universe and rest for a moment on the peak of Olympus
like prometheus unbound, the stone is the weight of memory and guilt and shame and regret, he's free to move but he needs the will to power to overcome the inertia of eternity

which also means that at the top, the summit of the rim heaven, is the only moment that he is truly free of everything, until the chain is stretched straight and pulls him down again with it
