In Stoic philosophy, the writing of the Early Church Fathers, and in its allegorical interpretations in medieval and renaissance mythologies, Sisyphus is the archetypal model of human perfectibility. The Myth of Sisyphus investigates this archetype as a principal theme in renaissance theories of astral magic; in humanist theories of eugenic education; and in utopian thought.
