Camus wrote that Sisyphus could reflect on life during his task, and in this way, he comes to accept the futility of his task. In this way, he becomes reconciled to his life and even gave it some meaning. The French philosopher drew parallels between the Greek's's fate and that of modern men and women. Like Sisyphus, he argued that they could find meaning and satisfaction, even in the most absurd conditions and adverse circumstances.<ref>Camus, Albert. The myth of Sisyphus. Penguin UK, 2013 </ref>

The myth of Sisyphus is little known, although many have heard of his punishment and are familiar with the image of him pushing a huge rock. This fable is important because it allows us to understand something of the Greek mindset. The cunning king's figure saw many qualities that they admired, such as resourcefulness and bravery.
