41 1 ReplyIn some version of the myth they actually put an exit back to the living world up there. Sisyphus in life tried to cheat death (even succeeded for a bit) which is part of why he wound up in Tartarus. He could stop pushing the rock any time he wanted, but it would mean giving up on escape.
