Greece: I, Sisyphus

We must imagine Sisyphus happy. But Sisyphus doesn’t believe it. He knows only that the world will never be at peace as long as the Twelve Olympians remain. To invade the human realm, the gods have even made the underworld their sacrifice! Fortunately, he has ascended to become the God of Futility. As long as he tricks them into taking human form and shatters their beliefs, he can kill them or bring them under his control. “Athena, your victory is not perfect!” “Aphrodite, there will always be women more beautiful than you.” “Zeus, when I’ve won the approval of humanity and the gods of the Norse and Egyptian pantheons, how much longer can a false king like you hold on?”
