There's a myth?
Yup, Sisyphus is part of Greek mythology
I haven’t read this title yet, still marinating on it, but I’ve been wondering that too. Where does the title fit into all this? Who is the Sisyphus in this story and who are the hounds? Sisyphus was the guy stuck forever rolling the Boulder up the hill in hell right? So does that mean this whole story is set in some kind of purgatory?
Not sure yet since the story is still in its' early stages; but the big theory is Guwon = Sisyphus, Jinwoo = Thanatos (god of Death), Hounds = most likely the town people (&now Jinwoo who doesn't have memory of his past.) Marinating this one wouldn't be too bad honestly since this will take a long time before most of our questions are answered.
Oh and when Sisyphus trapped Thanatos to avoid death - is probably where we're at at the storyline rn since Jinwoo is part of the Guwon's town without having any memory (these are all theories until new chapters come out ofc)
Ooh! That’s interesting. I absolutely love some Greek mythology references so the title immediately caught my eye and captured my interest, but I wanted to wait a bit longer before diving in. So if Guwon is Sisyphus and captured Jinwoo then maybe that explains the vomiting thing. Right now he’s manipulating Jinwoo to avoid death so he’s not romantically interested yet? But eventually it will become real, maybe?
this chapter makes it seem even more like Jinwoo is "Death" part of the Sisyphus myth. and again no insight on Guwon still（￣へ￣）it sucks watching them have intimate scenes when that vomiting scene still hasn't been cleared up.
