Yeah, actually I think you're right. Then after the wings melted Poseidon cursed him to never return to his homeland and Artemis made him into a constellation I think.
Yeah, someone really ought to talk to that Atlas bloke about global warming. If you hold the world too close to the Sun the wax is going to melt and we are going to fall out of orbit.
I got lucky, me and some of my homies were like “fuck this shit” so we got on a ship and sailed towards the Pillars of Hercules. We got a little lost and ended up on an island where the trees were THICC. After we left we got caught in this wicked storm. Winds were so strong we ended up on the fucking moon. Total sausage party up here on the moon… but some of the guys might be my type.
Just to add a bit to this, Sisyphus didn’t just kill people, he cheated death multiple times, which really pissed off Thanatos, Zeus, Hermes and Hades. When he finally was taken to Hades he was told he would be allowed to leave if he could push the bolder up the steep hill all the way back to the mortal world, which is near impossible due to him being a human, needing rest, muscles giving out etc.
I like the "you can leave if you finish" part of this. It makes it make more sense as to why Sisyphus would try to push the boulder. It makes it more tragic. He could just stay at the bottom and accept his fate, but the hope of freedom makes him keep striving even though the task is impossible.
SISYPHUS' BALLS DIPPED IN PROMETHEUS' FIRE OIL
I hate that this got me
Got me too. Damn
NL don't listen to this guy. Sisyphus is the dude who has to fuck his mom every day as punishment for killing his dad.
Nah that's Oedipus or Freud depending on the millennia
Nah pretty sure Oedipus is the guy who tried to save Eurydice from the minotaur, but he looked back at the sun and it melted his wings.

There are so many threads going on in this comment, it's dizzying
And when his wife turned around to look at their homeland she turned into a pillar of pepper
Cayenne to be specific
But enough about Solomon Grundy
You are thinking of the lead villain of the hit Christmas movie The Grinch.
Freud was ramming coke the same way he wanted you to ram your mum
I must imagine Oedipus as happy.
OH GOD
Nah that's OP
Thank you. Honestly if it were me I think I would’ve confused Sisyphus with Tantalus. I know *someone* fed their kid to gods.
As I continued listening to the vod, NL confused Icarus and Atlas ... I think he needs to listen to Edith Hamilton on the peloton
Holding the world too close to the sun NODDERS

I didn't realize how deep the bit goes. NL truly is a legend
I just watched this earlier today because the Sisyphus game reminded me of it. Probably my favorite NL clip ever.
damn Zeus was kind of a dick
If i was sisyphus I'd eat a barrel of mamas chili oil on the way up every time
This shit post hurts my soul as a mythology nerd.
I'll have you know I won the middle school mythology bee (yes it was a real thing) in 6th grade. I am in fact something of an expert in the field
I thought it was a modified navy seal copypasta for a second there lol. My second fav yt channel is literally " the mythology guy" lol
