The myth of Sisyphus symbolizes the struggle against absurdity in existential thought. Sisyphus is condemned to eternally roll a boulder uphill only for it to roll down each time he reaches the top. This myth illustrates the human condition, where individuals seek meaning and purpose in a seemingly pointless task. Existentialists like Albert Camus interpret this as a metaphor for life’s inherent challenges, emphasizing the importance of embracing the struggle itself, finding satisfaction in the journey rather than the destination.
