“The Hounds of Sisyphus” can symbolize relentless pain, guilt, or pressure chasing someone stuck in a hopeless cycle — like Sisyphus, forever pushing the boulder.
Betrayal can be part of it:
Sisyphus was betrayed by the gods for defying them. The hounds might represent people, emotions, or regrets that won’t leave you alone — maybe after being betrayed. The hounds could also represent the consequences of betrayal — maybe guilt, memories, or people who turn on you. Or it’s the feeling of being betrayed by life, doing everything right but still suffering.
It’s a poetic way to express emotional struggle, pressure, and the weight of the past.
