Nah, never forget, Sisyphus had meaning in his life, he helped a kidnapped daughter, he secured an ever lasting spring of water for a village… the gods punished him because he kept tricking them, skirted their rules and their punishments, helping himself and other people, masses of normal people.
Yep, that’s the crime, he rejected their bullshit systems, and they can’t have their own illusion destroyed - that they’re inbred irrational, jealous, bottomless pits of power hungry idiots that serve no purpose and shouldn’t be worshipped, but removed from power. he threatened to reveal their illusion and to show people they could make big differences and change the system without the powers of the Gods, so they imprisoned him with meaningless slave labor.
Almost like it’s a metaphor for the endless human condition we find ourselves in with our own “gods”, the men who try to control the world with power, riches, irrational rules and meaningless slave labor.
You dropped this, fam.

He chose to do those things, so… you could say he created his own meaning in the midst of an inherently absurd and meaningless universe? 😉
