Thanatos: Just heading to the arena. We passed by Sisyphus’ chamber earlier; flipped us off. So that was a good way to start the morning-or-evening.
Hypnos: Yeah, but we totally flipped him off back.
Thanatos: I flipped him off back. You just waved and laughed cheerfully.
Hypnos: Look, I don't have your mutually-sustained hate boner for the guy, OK!
Thanatos: I don't have a hate boner for him.
Hypnos: Dude, it's a pretty hateful boner.

“one must imagine sisyphus happy” no, one must imagine him a stubborn asshole who thinks he’s smarter than everyone including the gods. i’ve heard plenty of versions where hades gives him the CHOICE to roll the boulder up the hill; it’s the only way he’s getting into elysium. if he wants to walk away, fine! he’ll just be relegated to the asphodel meadows (the “nosebleed/overflow” section of the underworld where all the normies end up).
and sisyphus, well, he’s a goddamn king. he cheated death! twice! a simple boulder is no match for his mighty wit.
hades’ punishment isn’t “you are forced to perform an unwinnable task forever”. it must fit sisyphus’ crimes. his hubris. any sane person, and quite a few insane ones, would spend a while pushing the boulder, maybe a few hours, maybe a few months, and eventually realize it was futile. an eternity in a peaceful meadow, not alone, not tortured, seems agreeable. but not to sisyphus. no, he’s too famous, too smart for that. he’ll get it to the top this time. this time. this time for sure.

Sisyphus: Oh, I've heard the rumors, prince, but not to worry. My relationship with Bouldy is strictly plutonic.

Sisyphus: I am.
Thanatos: Who's I?
Sisyphus: Depends who's asking.
Thanatos: I am-
Hades: THANK YOU, Thanatos, you've been of immense help. Now I'll take it from here.

My ONE major complaint about Hades is that they don't let it also be a farming sim I cannae BELIEVE I don't get to actually tend to Persephone's garden and cottage for a few minutes after I escape literally we could have had it all

Sisyphus - the Thrice Dead King
One of the cleverest, most conniving bastards in the entirety of Greek Myth. So many people look at him as boulder boy, but he's so much more than that.
