The Romans/Greek gods were as shitty as gods usually are. Sisyphus wasn’t so much punished for his crimes as he was for being a smartass to the gods. Sisyphus literally stopped everyone on Earth from dying, and because Ares the God of War complained that wars were no longer fun because no one died, it was undone. The claim that Sysiphus suffered his punishment because of how he toyed with people’s lives is gaslighting, the gods did that all the time. Sysiphus’ biggest crime was not being another god.
We do not share his punishment because thankfully because gods are fiction. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of Sysiphuses or enemies of Sysiphuses with the same or more power that would either act the same or worse.
Remember that Sisyphus was a monster that killed people that he invited into his court. We are not Sisyphus, and we should not share his punishment.
