I've always wondered: What would have happened to Sisyphus if he just... Didn't push the boulder? Like he just walked away and let the thing roll all the way down?
I don't think I've ever read/heard the full, original story so if this is actually covered, I'm ignorant.
From what I've heard he gets attacked by harpies if he tries to stop.
Surely he's buff enough to take on a swarm of harpies.
If I was Sisyphus, I would simply NOT push the boulder.
I'm curious about this too.
Its never mentioned, he just has to keep pushing
