I doubt if Sisyphus thought that what he done was absurd, well at least not in the beginning, the first few tries he might of thought it was possible. It's most likely he had free will in the beginning because he wanted to push the boulder up the hill - he wanted to acheive his task. But only after a few hundred times it started to sink in it was a futile task, but he couldn't stop because by that point he developed OCD and he felt compelled to push the boulder up the hill, in a way he lost his free will when it slowly turned into a force of habit.
