Myths can be best understood as models of the Subjective Unity.

Sysiphus plays the 'subject' here so it is the 'subjective self'. (Not necessarily the 'ego'). His inward vision was 'fractured' (thus "gods"), he 'sinned', and is 'punished' by his fractured conception of the Reality. He toils like a hamster on an ever Turning Wheel and never 'arrives'.

The moment 'he' realizes that there is only One GOD and that 'he', the 'rock', and the 'mountain' are all one, his nightmare will end.
