The moral of a Greek Mythology is that life isn't fair. This man witnessed a kidnapping, and went to tell the victims father, but knowing he could improve the lives of his people bartered the information and saved many lives and improved many more. And for that, he was to die, seeing his fate, he fought and defeated death for his death was undeserved. And for this, he would be killed. Only now died he truly betray the God's, he lied to return to the world of living where he spent his life a happy man with his wife and children. And for that, he was to be tormented for all eternity. Moral, life isn't fair, don't expect it to be.

Exactly! To appreciate life, whether our own or that of others, we have to understand death.

Honestly, I not only CAN'T imagine that, but I can't understand how educational groups like TED-Ed can even have respect that kind of philosophy!

@@DodirAnelaIntuitivnoOtvaranje Most Greek Myths tell of the transition from the Golden Age under the stewardship of the Titans to the age of Zeus and his Pantheon, Sisyphus belongs to the Titan faction his name means wisdom from the Greek "sophos" . To become wise one must adhere to the practices of the ancient wisdom schools. Zeus desires that Sisyphus and what he represents be removed to the underworld which is known today as the etheric realms, symbolically the rock rolling punishment discloses that the desires of sisyphus will never be fulfilled presumably his desires would be the ascendancy of his philosophy or credo, unfortunately for Zeus the evolution of man is not static the next age is just around the corner.

Sisyphys: killed human guests Zeus: 😴 Sisyphys: exposes Zeus as the kidnapper of a god's daughter Zeus: 😡 Notice the BS here? Zeus didn't bother with Sisyphys until the mortal man snitched on him

[@tanmeysaraiya4130]

Watching these stories makes playing God of War 3 all the more satisfying

[@korosuke1788]

Some people complain about Greek Mythology not being fair. But you know what wasn't fair either? Actual greek history.

[@ElBandito]

Greek Gods are the epitome of "The strong did what they could, and the weak suffered what they must".

[@SirNafurious]

Since Sisyphus is a descendant of a god, maybe he had his own power. Probably the power of persuasion.

[@chickencola8583]

Poor Sisyphus he didn’t deserve that

[@gh0stxx728]

Nicely narrated and put together , great art work did you do it yourself ?

[@wheelyjon]

Brilliantly narrated wonderful artwork

[@ramramdandan1]

I thought the boulder would just slip or moved by itself for causing it to roll back. Is this some variation of the story or something?

[@user-qi7jx9zs9i]

Sisyphus continues to live on in Tartarus rolling that bolder only to be frequently visited by the prince of the underworld, Zagreus in his unending attempts to escape from the underworld. As a means of offering aid to the prince, Sisyphus would give him either a gyro, darkness, or coin. Yeah, Hades brought me here. The Fates predicted it.

[@videogollumer]

Ah, yes; Zagreus, video gaming's second Kratos.

[@RuthlessPropaganda]

Very coo. love it. thank you for your work. i just subscribed.

[@burnscooper892]

Kind of wish the video brought how Sisyphus would break the rules of hospitality by murdering his guests in their sleep and steal their treasures. Because when I first watched this video, I ended up feeling sorry for him in the end despite his bold attempts at cheating death because I was just thinking Zeus was being an asshole.

[@kurinji8770]

And one must imagine Sisyphus happy

[@everettloucks3304]

Hades was kinda like Rumplestiltskin when he made deals with people sometimes he keep them or he did not keep his part of the bargain like Persephone he promised Demeter she would be back but she ate the pomegranate and ended staying there so Hades basically lied to Demeter

[@8265]

On thing I never understood about this story - IF Gods, like Thanatos, can be in multiple locations at once, then WHY did death being bound matter?

[@Blackmessa6868]

Got to love a bit of Greek mythology. Wish I learnt more of it at school. It's actually more educational than people think.

[@gracecalis5421]

Man, I'm glad Kratos clapped the pantheon's cheeks.

[@god5656]

No Aphrodite still lives

[@azazel166]

@@god5656 Originally she was going to die, if you did the mini game a second time and failed the inputs.

[@apache_hi4672]

problem: exist* the greek: it's zeus, isn't it?

[@AresKerby2004]

Please more comics just love it ^o^

[@ihavenoclue4198]

This is very enjoyable and intresting to watch, i really like it

[@Solqueen86]

Once again it's all Zeus's fault. But still Sisyphus should have also pray to Hera for protection

[@jrsentinta1685]

If Sisyphus instructed his wife not to give him proper burial if he died prematurely, then how come he was able to manage to cross the river of death and even had a meeting with Hades? 🤨

[@user-fg9oy3uo3h]

That’s his soul, not his physical body. As shown when he passed away due to old age only to become young again.

[@lucasramey6427]

​@@user-fg9oy3uo3hok? But that doesn't answer their question, of course it isn't his actual body going to Hades (the realm) to meet Hades (the person) part of the burial ritual is to put coinage on the person being buried so they can pay for passage across the river and Sisyphus asked not to be given the burial rite meaning he should have been left at the bank of the river along any other souls who were never given the proper ritual

[@dermaainwalker7307]

Thank you

[@usamazahid3882]

It's pretty much the Sisyphus concept. No matter how many times they climb up to the top of the mountain, the problems were buried underneath the same mountain, and made it bigger all the time.

[@jamesrivera7618]

Sorry I never new this was wondering how that came to be because when I was a child my father painted a picture of it as an abstract

[@lazfernandez9120]

How great it is for a human to under mind the God's. As their selfishness and self centered has led them to be fool's. For one human to achieve such a task is for us all to rejoice. a new clever hero of man with only his genius has out smarted them all. Beautiful

[@kamikazekyre6101]

With each video I understand why Kratos hated Zeus so much.

[@lodieeee]

Thanathos is the one I cosplayed in my English class.

[@aliekexie8467]

And it all could have been avoided if Hera wasnt useless goddess and kept her husband in check.

[@DodirAnelaIntuitivnoOtvaranje]

Lol literally terrible state of that marriage caused many evil-doings over humans and demi-gods..

[@omniavanitas7893]

Are you seriously blaming a woman for the actions of a man who was manifestly superior to her in both rank and power? Are you even aware of the historical and social context that spawned these stories? Grow a brain, mate.
