I'm back with another theory! Waiting for the next chapter has got me thinking. Since I am 99.7% sure Guwon is the legendary Sisyphus, he would have had to escape the depths of Hades somehow. In doing so, he would have to cross the River Styx, which carries some pretty hefty penalties if you happen to touch its water. The River Styx can strip away memories and affect a person's intellect and personality. Doesn't that sound familiar?
There are several ways he could have escaped, and it's possible he just took the chance and swam the river to reach the entrance and lost his memories in the process. It's possible that Persephone (the guardian of the entrance of Hades) felt sorry for him and let him go since he had lost all his memories and intelligence. Still, that doesn't feel quite right since there was so much destruction before he crawled up from the underworld. Maybe Hades himself found out and went apeshit on the world after learning Sisyphus (Guwon) escaped?
That's just one theory, but I just know deep down in my bones that Guwon is Sisyphus and that he escaped his eternal punishment and returned to the mortal realm. One of these days I'll put all my theory posts into one so it'll be easier to read. Can't wait for the next chapter to come out so I can expand on my theory! This is so much fun for me because I love greek mythology and writing. Thank you to everyone who's read and commented on my posts! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
More to read if you're feeling bored! They are my theories that I've written about before:
