Boulder must go up.
What happens to Sisyphus if he just... Let the boulder roll all the way down?
I'm sure that after half an eternity, Sisyphus would start to get creative with it. I bet he surfed down the mountain on the boulder once just to see if he could.
Then one must imagine Sisyphus lazy. Repetitive toil in exchange for the right to exist is simply the natural order.
No I mean, like, in the actual story. lol
Hades only knows.
Hermes: "Shouldn't he have a more severe punishment for not performing his punishment?"
Hades: "What am I supposed to punish him with? A second boulder he won't push?"
(Also to complete the image: These are the versions from the Disney Hercules)
How about we push the boulder onto a ridge and have some pina coladas for ~~a bit~~ several years
Edit: Maybe we just leave the boulder there and invent something to carry it up
But then we forego the peace achieved by appreciating the rewards inherent to making boulder go up.
