sisyphus, king of corinth. homer calls him the craftiest of men. he caught death coming for him and chained him to a wall, and for a while nothing anywhere could die. ares had to free death and deliver sisyphus below in person.
he had told his wife: no burial, throw my body in the square. then he complained to persephone about the disrespect and was allowed back up to punish it. he stayed. hermes eventually collected him.
the sentence, for cheating death twice: push a stone up a hill. near the crest it turns and rolls back to the plain. forever. homer calls the stone pitiless. homer is being polite.
your cursor is your hands — the real one, actual size. get it low against the downhill side and push. the stone gains weight with every meter and there is no ceiling on that; near the crest it shakes. one slip and the hill takes back everything you gave it. the whole hill is in front of you. so is the top. that's the design. the voice is the management.
understood.
