Princess Celestia has a chat on her day off with none other than Sisyphus and learns something.

not very strong message, i think, but you should read it regardless

Ya know, this was pretty neat. I liked this! It’s not too often that you see Celestia learn about life other than maybe some friendship lessons. She may have had enough time in the world to do what she does, but Sisyphus has had even more time in the world to think (though I suppose it also helps that I love reading about philosophy and mythology).
I also love how he is portrayed here; nothing over-the-top, just some seemingly random dude for the audience, and Celestia, to listen to
Short but sweet. Great horse words!

It took me a few paragraphs before I connected the name in the title with the mythological background, but it was fun to discover.
You put a great spin on the old legend and made it fun and thoughtful. Excellent!

thamk you, may your boulder be lighter
Genius. This belongs in a museum.
You know, every day the boulder should wear down just a tiny bit... after a very long time the boulder should be but a small rock that can be easily carried up and over the mountain.
