TED-Ed: The myth of Sisyphus - Alex Gendler

The video explores the myth of Sisyphus, a cunning king punished by the gods for his deceit. Sisyphus repeatedly escapes death, causing chaos, until he is finally captured and condemned to eternally roll a boulder uphill. The story is interpreted as an allegory for the human condition, with existentialist philosopher Albert Camus viewing it as a metaphor for humanity's search for meaning in an indifferent universe.

In what way does Albert Camus relate the story of Sisyphus to the human condition?

What lesson can be derived from Sisyphus's endless struggle with the boulder?
