Who is Sisyphus?
Sisyphus is a figure in Homer's Iliad and other works of Greek mythology. He is reputed to be the founder of the Isthmian Games and is a trickster who receives eternal punishment for trying to cheat Death.
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a cunning king of Corinth. After his death, he was condemned in the underworld to roll a rock endlessly up a hill. Whenever the rock reached the top, it rolled right back down again, so Sisyphus could never finish his task. The poet Homer described Sisyphus' fate in the Odyssey.
Now the thing that's quite interesting is that our ml has put himself in charge to take care that the 'moon shaped' rock on top of the hill does not fall. In Sisyphus story in contrast the rock always falls just as it's about to reach the top. Our ml is also the leader of what our mc calls a sort of heaven. So idk buttt there could be a connection to how Sisyphus in hell never managed to place the rock on top of the mountain and how in this story, with it being on top, their base is a heaven for them.
Additionally sisyphus cheats death multiple times, our ml had very distinct frankenstein features hence my conclusion is that he too must have cheated death multiple times.
Another thing about Sisyphus is that Zeus was angry for Sisyphus thought himself smarter than him buttt our ml in this case is dumber than a 6 year old kid in terms of schooling... so idk the connections are just AMAZINGGGG
