Sisyphus is considered an Absurd Hero because he embodies the struggle against the inherent meaninglessness of life. In Albert Camus' interpretation, Sisyphus is condemned to eternally roll a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he reaches the top. Rather than succumbing to despair, he embraces his fate, finding meaning in the struggle itself. This defiance and acceptance of his absurd condition exemplify the human spirit's resilience in the face of absurdity.
