  3. Myth as a Sisyphean TaskHomer on Sisyphus (Odyssey xi.593-600): and I saw Sisyphus in violent torment, seeking to raise a monstrous stone with both his hands. [Verily he would brace himself with hands and feet, and thrust the stone toward the crest of a hill, but as often as he was about to heave it over the top, the weight would turn it back, and then down again to the plain would come rolling the ruthless stone. But he would strain again and thrust it back, and the sweat [600] flowed down from his limbs, and dust rose up from his head.

  7. Sisyphus Gaming The constant cycle of hardware upgrades and more complex games can leave a gamer feeling like the legendary Sisyphus. Simon Abramovitch in Escapist Magazine The fact is, technology will always be moving forward, keeping the cycle running fluidly, trapping high-road gamers into a never-ending struggle for more, ringing the familiar bells of the perennially dissatisfied middle-class American. Buy, consume, then buy some more. The case is like that of the mythical Sisyphus, eternally pushing a stone up a mountain slope, whence the stone falls back under its own weight, and the climb begins anew. That high road can perhaps be likened to this slope, with the endless cycle of renewed and heightened expectations keeping any end inevitably unreachable. Perhaps, as with our look back at early games, there is indeed wisdom in classics.

  11. Stills Stephen Lyrics - Myth Of Sisyphus (Stephen Stills, Kenny Passarelli Lyrics (1975)Are you leavin'Bein' aloneAlways made you so sadI got memories of the cityFollowin' me everywhere I goAre you mad with heartacheGot a country homeAnd you a ParisienneGonna take all your sorrowsRight along with you when I'm goneAnd I got to go awayOnly need a couple of daysI got one more chance to sing itAnd I ain't gon' waste my time'Cause everything including youIs on the lineAre you troubledFeelin' badAnd no one seems to careGot the myth of SisyphusFallin' on you like a rolling stone

  12. Yet Do I Marvelby Countee Cullen (1903-1946) Yet Do I Marvel by Countee Cullen I doubt not God is good, well-meaning, kind, And did He stoop to quibble could tell why The little buried mole continues blind, Why flesh that mirrors Him must someday die, Make plain the reason tortured Tantalus Is baited by the fickle fruit, declare If merely brute caprice dooms Sisyphus To struggle up a never-ending stair. Inscrutable His ways are, and immune To catechism by a mind too strewn With petty cares to slightly understand What awful brain compels His awful hand. Yet do I marvel at this curious thing: To make a poet black, and bid him sing.
