If I remember it right, Sisyphus being like wasn't even driven by some goals, but pretty much compulsive. He would seemingly appeared to learnt his lesson but then go out his way to deceive somebody again. I'm kinda having second thoughts to read this one considering the title, but it's by an author i like so I'm marinating it.
Anyway if it's anyway inspired by that Greek myth, then one of them gonna be the Sisyphus and the other be the deceived "people" OR the boulder that he needs to keep rolling at the same time that boulder gonna keep slipping and crush him over and over

Nvm I'm remembering it wrong, Sisyphus was a clever mf but he wasn't a "bad" guy, he utilizes his cleverness and cunningness to deceive others yes, but it wasn't harmful rather to debate the fairness in life, personal insights and mockery to the powerful gods overseeing human's life. It's a man deceiving fate and taunt it to do their best as he keeps tricking and proving them he got the brain to outsmart them. However he did indeed got caught and punished eternally for it.
Now, that premise sounds very intriguing, i think I'll have my utmost fun to dissect this story when i do read it
I haven't start reading this one yet. But Sisyphus is that one mf who constantly deceiving people and gods and got his ass punished with rolling a stone up the hill forever right? So the title, does it means one of the two gonna be mischievous/deceiving?
