چکیده:
The Myth of Sisyphus is a book in which Albert Camus addresses the issue of the absurdity of contemporary man. This book and the myth presented in it have been among the influential works on our contemporary poets, to the extent that poets such as Rahimi, Shafiei Kadkani, Shamlu, etc., inspired by this book and its myth, composed poems. However, due to the different readings of this myth by poets, the inspirations had fundamental differences from one another. In general, the approach of Iranian poets to this book and myth can be categorized into the following four forms: A) Poets who only engaged in a complete and unadulterated retelling of this myth (the poem 'Taqdir' composed by Rahimi); B) Poets who, considering this myth and its philosophical themes, proceeded to create similar symbols (the poem 'Rud' composed by Ahmad Shamlu); C) Poets who stripped the Myth of Sisyphus of its philosophical burden and gave it a social dimension (the poem 'Charkh-e Chah' composed by Shafiei Kadkani); D) Poets who only reflected the themes of this myth in their poetry (the poem 'Jahan Ra Ke Afarid' composed by Ahmad Shamlu).

In general, the approach of Iranian poets to this book and myth can be categorized into the following four forms: A) Poets who only engaged in a complete and unabridged retelling of this myth (the poem "Taqdir" composed by Rahimi); B) Poets who, taking this myth and its philosophical themes into account, proceeded to create similar symbols (the poem "Rud" composed by Ahmad Shamlu); C: Poets who emptied the Myth of Sisyphus of its philosophical burden and gave it a social dimension (the poem "Jahan Ra Ke Afarid" composed by Ahmad Shamlu).

In the continuation, we see Sisyphus who, due to disobedience and rebellion against the gods, has been condemned to roll a large boulder up a mountain slope every day; but in the end, the stone rolls down the mountain by the will of the gods; this is a fate that has been repeated many times and will be repeated; the gods had realized that in the immortal world of myths, nothing is more terrifying than performing a futile task, especially a difficult task such as rolling a massive stone.
Our goal here is neither to examine similarities and perhaps influences, nor is it a comparative study; for this reason, we have selected a poem by Shamlou from his book Unrelated Praises to interpret it based on the themes of Camus's Myth of Sisyphus7.
(The poem "Rud" composed by Ahmad Shamlou) C- Poets who emptied the myth of Sisyphus of its philosophical burden and gave it a social dimension.
