The Meaningless Existence Of King Sisyphus
The meaningless existence that was imposed upon King Sisyphus the trickster of the gods, was a task that did not coincide with his own will. The moving of the stone up a hill for it to never make it to the top, it would roll down and Sisyphus would have to try again. For all of eternity was his punishment by Zeus for tricking the gods. King Sisyphus derived pleasure from his avaricious self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness, which his pleasure and will power were always striving. His efforts in life were culminated with his impulses of self-aggrandizement and an iron fist rule by his will power. The reason why his punishment from Zeus was a punishment, is that Sisyphus could not culminate his willpower in the manner of that he enjoyed and lacked all meaning from Sisyphus’ perspective. The endless meaninglessness and boredom of tasks are what takes away all meaning and culmination for our own being, pointlessness makes our existence have no meaning. Perspective can give new meaning to things long overlooked, if Sisyphus had changed his perspective upon his own purpose, it could have created a heaven he would be living in instead of hell and meaninglessness. If he derived some pleasure or meaning of strength or of movement, …show more content…
Could Sisyphus have led a meaningful life before he died by his avaricious self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness? To lead a meaningful life “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning” (Jiddu Krishnamurti). If Sisyphus had acknowledged that he was wrong in living a life of self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness and accepted a change of perspective within his eternal form. He could have lived a prosperous and meaningful existence where his actions culminated some type of

    Camus discusses his opinions and philosophy in both “The Plague” and “The Myth of Sisyphus” which partly reflect my own personal ideology. In “The Myth of Sisyphus” the character is alright with his predicament, and is at peace with it, which demonstrates how Camus believes you should deal with crisis. I do not believe in this way of thinking, as I think that people should fight with as much strength as they can. This way the people can stay hopeful, and help end the crisis. In Camus “The Plague” I support the actions of Dr. Benard Rieux as he spends almost all of his free time trying to help those around him. Even though he has a wife outside of the closed city of Oran, he does not let that distract him from his work and continues to…

    Greek mythology shows that ancient Greek gods took terrible revenge on those who opposed or displeased them. When Tantalus, son of Zeus, displeased the gods, he was condemned to float for eternity in a beautifully lake. If he bent to drink from the clear, sparkling water, it recedes from him, if he reached for the luscious grapes hanging overhead. They stayed just out of reach. Sisyphus displeased the gods by telling their secrets he was taught the meaning of frustration. His task for all the years of eternity were to roll a huge, heavy rock up a steep hill. When he had almost reached the top, the rock would invariably break loose and roll to the bottom, poor Sisyphus had to start again. Arachne bragged that she could weave more skillfully…

    Once there was a man who cheated death. The Myth of Sisyphus is an essay by Albert Camus relaying and explaining the myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus cheated death, a crime only to be punished by the gods. The most dreadful punishment conceivable by the gods was an eternity of futile hopeless labor. Sisyphus was to spend the rest of eternity pushing a boulder up a mountain just to watch it roll back down. An unbearable punishment at first glance. When scrutinized, the truth could easily be the complete opposite.…

    The gods seem to believe that mortals can for the most part control their own fate and that they are merely there to punish those that do wrong or to sometimes help those that may be meant for greater things and begin to stray from their intended path. They can control the fate of the mortals but do not always choose to. Only when such a mortal is important to the future of a certain situation will the gods interfere. They do however very much so act as sort of a justice system to punish but also reward. Poseidon severely punished Odysseus when he blinded the Cyclops by sending him to Calypso’s island for 10 years and not letting him return home. He then sank the Pheacians ship as it was returning to the harbor to punish them for helping get Odysseus home. Yet at the same time Athena helped Odysseus by going to Zeus and pleading with him to let Odysseus return home. If it wasn’t for Athena’s interference with Odysseus’ fate he would have never completed his journey home. What happened with Odysseus shows perfectly that the gods do not have a set code of morals. They do as they please and punish who they feel deserving, they even contradict each other’s punishments. If one god feels a mortal should be punished, but then another god thinks they shouldn’t the gods will work against each other so that each of them can have their way.…

    After all this, Socrates goes on to the story about a man returning from the afterlife and describing it. At the end of the story, he says that because he and his companions have established that the soul is immortal, and because this story speaks about the immortality of the soul, it is even more important for people to be just and seek good and true knowledge in their life. This, in turn, will bring them much happiness in both this life and the…

    Gilgamesh is a man of little value, just like all the other men of his time. He is deemed peripheral, because he cannot procreate. He is told he is “two thirds a god but one third a man.” He wants to live forever and after witnessing the death of his beloved friend, Enkidu, he must do just that. He goes to the land of Dilmum to find the only immortal man, Utnapistum. He travels to the mountain of Mashu where he is questioned and ridiculed for his notion of being everlasting. The Scorpions guard the door from him, standing in the way of eternal life and him, but finally he is let in. Here he is again remind that his quest is unavailing, this time by Shamash the Sun God: “You will never find the life for which you are searching.” He meets Siduri, the goddess of wine she too reminds him of his vacuous journey and the common lot of men: “Be merry and rejoice, cherish your child and embrace you wife.” Not only is Gilgamesh again told his fate; she too locks her tavern, barring him again from reaching the next level to immortality. Eventually, Gilgamesh meet with the epitome of the male hope, Utnapishtim. Utnapishtim gives him a speech that averages to “nothing last forever”. He…

    Both Nietzsche's "The Madman" and Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus" have absurdist elements. While "The Madman" deals mainly with a man who professes that "God is dead" and the effects of that death to a group of people, "The Myth of Sisyphus" entails an analysis of the effects of a man forced to roll a rock up a mountain and watch it roll back down for eternity. Throughout their texts, both authors make the argument that despite life being meaningless, we must continue to search for meaning. However, the authors' arguments diverge when it comes to the matter of what is needed to live out a meaningful existence; while Nietzsche believes that we need some illusion, such as a God, to embrace the absurd, Camus believes that we must reject such illusions…

One of the many differences between Gilgamesh and Enkidu would be When the temple prostitute seduces Enkidu, he loses his animal attributes but gains his self-consciousness and his humanity.
