1:48 I don't want to be a nerd, but Sisyphus's punishment was originally just to die. However, because he tricked Thanotos and later Hades and Persephone, he got the boulder punishment. He tried to do a pointless task, escaping death, and thus he must do a pointless task for the rest of eternity.

Also wasn’t the punishment for Prometheus more brutal 1. Because he was one of Zeus closest friends and betrayed him by stealing the fire from Olympus and 2. Because he essentially gave humans the ability to thrive without the gods I’m not too educated in Greek mythology so someone please correct me if I’m wrong or if you can articulate it better! :D

but i think its really cool tbh

Sisyphus was punished because he imprisoned Death (the personification of death, like the Grim Reaper) when Death came for him (he did not want to die). And then when he got caught and was to be judged for his crimes, he tricked Hades and his wife, Persephone and once again escaped death for a while. So his punishment is fitting, since he did get his immortality at the end, just not in the way he wanted to.

Did he really get his immortality though? He’s stuck in the fields of punishment in the underworld. Stuck doing a meaningless task for all eternity, because he tried escaping death.

@jordanrijsdijk5496 immortality just means being forever. It doesn't specify what you do in that forever. Sisyphus gets to exist forever, just not doing anything he wants. I'm not sure about this exactly, but in Greco-Roman Mythology, Apollo used the exact same technicality to punish the Sibyll of Cumea by giving her immortality but not specifying eternal youth.

He also trapped the Greek version of deathbringer for a while, right? And the god of war was upset about wars becoming pointless, because people stopped dying. And someone else was upset about old and sickly suffering.

5:54 perfectly conveys Ludwig stream viewers

This type of game really demonstrates how most games truly operate, there is a gameplay loop and the developer's job is to make it fun, challenging, and rewarding. The simple additional threat of losing all progress to any mistake is so powerful that it fundamentally changes how we perceive these games completely. Any game can do this, and that's a big realization to have.

1:45 First of all, Sysiphys didnt just have to lift a boulder, he was basically sent to hell and had to lift that boulder for all of eternity. Imagine playing a foddyian game forever, except it has a physical toll on you and you can never beat it. Second, Prometheus didnt just give fure to humans, he stole it from the gods. So sure giving fire to humans isnt as bas as killing a bunch of people, but from the gods perspective, anyone who stole from them deserved a mich bigger punishment then anything done to humans because they believed themselves above us. Also, keep in mind that Sysiphys was also basically sent to hell, so its not like Promethius was sent to hell and Sysiphys just had to lift a rock. Remember he was liftinf the rock for all eternity. Anyway just wanted to get that off my chest. I also know that it may sound like it, but i do not believe greek gods were actually real, i was just talking from that perspective.

The myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus is a slog to get through despite being so short. He calls out a bunch of philosophers so you kinda have to know what those other philosophers stances on things. There’s also a lot of talk of suicide so it’s kinda rough to get through and it’s written like an essay so it makes it even more brutal sometimes

By the way the thing with Prometheus he doesn’t get whipped but instead he is chained up somewhere I can’t remember but everyday an eagle comes and eats his liver which regenerates because he’s immortal

1:35 whenever Sisyphus stopped trying to push the boulder he got whipped by 3 demons that had whips lit on fire until he started pushing the rock again. personally, ima keep pushing that damn rock, But hey you do you
