I love how a lot of these stories boil down to the God's telling someone to do a very specific thing and the humans thinking "Nah" What's the worst that could happen?
You find that in every religion and mythology that has a god.
@@KingNazaru Only the trinity is perfect in every aspect. No sin or evil. Just pure goodness, love, and mercy.
His wife got gutted out
@@savannahhague4989 Well that is true. But we were talking about the humans disobeying the divine.
@@KingNazaru yeah. The only difference is that the Greek gods are flawed and don’t even know what’s really the best for humanity whereas God actually does know what’s best for us because He loves us. So there is a greater loss when we do away from Him. Yes, every religion has consequences from when we do sway from the divine but there’s only one that is real and not just a religion.
Daedalus every time he appears in this whole story: "You want me to build WHAT?!"
Pasiphae: So you can't do it?
Daedalus: Can't do it? I've already got six blueprints ready!
Lol
Bro's getting paid too much to care 😭
@@BrocksJellyFilledDoughnuts he and his son had to escape because they had to go back to Athens but king minos wont let them go back
We had a story passage in our class in August of 2022 and it showed how dadelus was treated like a prisoner and how he and Icarus had to escape via flight but Icarus lost control and died by drowning
@@abdullahfaisal5504 ok
Minos be like "That sacred bull could breed some great cattle!"
Poseidon be like "You want him to breed, do you?"
Aphrodite: “Ooh, yes….yeeeesss, what a good idea-“
Unfortunately, yes. Poor Pasiphae, Poseidon sure did the ironic punishment.
Be careful what you wish for
Rule34 artists 2,500 years later: write that down! Write that down!
Dude... 🤣🤣
“Achieve her union with the Minos bull”… classy phrasing.
So eloquent
Those ancient furries were no joke 🤣
Elegant
She is a Freak Freak 😂
yeah why is no body addressing this issue!😄😄😄
When Minos sacrificed an ordinary bull instead, an enraged Poseidon said "This is bull**** !"
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL!!!! Good one!
🤣🤣
So, you ask the God of the Sea for a bull, specifically for sacrifice. Then you keep the bull and sacrifice another? That's how you end up with the starring role in a Greek tragedy.
What makes him even dumber is that his entire kingdom was an island!
Your fate is already sealed the moment you're born into ancient Greek
Isn't the definition of a sacrifice to give something you own away to show commitment? I feel that by asking for a bull he would soon give back shows the King was lazy and selfish, not wanting to sacrifice something of his own. That's like asking your friend for money which you use to buy a birthday present and refuse to give said money back since you spent it on a present and therefor the friend should be grateful.
Minus the starring role.
🤣🤣🤣love ur wording
"starring role in a Greek tragedy "
I still can not get over how most fetishes find their base in greek mythology
I'm blaming the artist here for making the pregnant wife have thick, white gooey "sweat" all over her, I mean c'mon, what were they thinking? They did that on purpose, there is NO WORLD where sweat looks like that... That was bull splooge for sure.
@@DivineBanana clear translucent liquid is kinda hard to draw and more so with the time, money and art style these videos have.
@@DivineBanana i don't think it's sweat , i thin it's the liquid that comes out when you're giving birth
Tbh many probably date back further it’s just they were only written down at this time
More like most fetishes existed back in Greek period but they just don’t have internet. So, mythological stories will have to do.
The word "clue" came from "clew" meaning "ball of twine/yarn", which Ariadne gave to Theseus to navigate through the labyrinth. She gave him a clew/clue. It's a string of hints that guides you closer to finding your answer. 😊 Ariadne didn't come up with the idea, though. She begged Daedalus to help Theseus escape the labyrinth and that's when he gave her specific instructions on using the ball of twine in the maze. I can't remember if he also gave her the yarn as well or if he only gave her the instructions. I learned this over 15 years ago so my memory is a bit foggy on this last part.
I never had a clew about this
Thanks Kani K😀✌
That’s so cool
Glad you guys enjoyed this. 😊
That is fantastic, thanks for the trivia!
I wish I had half of Daedelus' ingenuity. The man constructed a whole human-sized Labyrinth.
@Gem Boyie true. But he was lead architect and blueprinted the whole thing.
@@madambutterfly1997
True, the Architect of the Labyrinth out here with some serious dedication
Fun fact daedelus is the father of icarus
He literally made wings from feathers and candle wax. The dude was inhuman levels of smart.
you know this is mythology right ?
Minos is the type of guy to say “Judgment!” And proceeds to drop kick you
Or the type of guy to say ''Crush!'' and proceed to bash your skull in
He is pretty just to make a judgement that Minotaur’s punishment shouldn’t be death
And he would be the type of guy to say “DIE” and make you die
Imagine being Daedalus and one day the Queen comes in asking for your help to get a bull to plow her and your like "sure why not?"
Yeah i dont think he had much of a choice.
Whats stoping her from ordering his execution?
@@-----Alcatraz------ surprised to the king didn't shake them afterwards anyway
“Ok, but no refunds.”
as soon as I saw them making a fake cow,I instantly knew where this was going
ntr
Should've sacrificed the bull, to avoid all of that.
I guess you can say the could have avoided a lot of bull!
B-but muh shiny bull. :(
You say that because you haven't see the beast it was. hmmmmm...😉
Yup, that's weird.
The story goes that one of Minos' sons -- Androgeos -- went to Athens for athletic games. Various versions have it that he won all the prizes, and was murdered for jealousy; or that he was set up to be killed by one of THEIR bulls -- it may have even been an accident, which Minos didn't believe.
But that's why 7 Athenian men and 7 women were required (every year? every 7 years?) to be sacrificed.
Ancient Greece had a thing for bulls: note one constant in all the stories is that Zeus disguises himself as a bull to do Europa (or was she changed into a cow -- first, or later?); then Minos (the son of a ... bull-god?) asks Poseidon for a sacrifice, who gives him a bull; then he cheats the god of the sea so his wife falls in love with the... bull; and he winds up with the Minotaur.
Aurochs ruled.
Actually, Zeus changed Io into a cow, but I get what you're trying to say.
No zeus changed back to his human form and make love to europa.
they took a mythology from egypt and molded it. there is a belief that gods can turn to certain bulls like osiris
Don't forget Asterion who named the constellation Taurus after his father, Tectauus The Bull. And Asterion is the one who married Europa after Zeus left her on Crete.
Zeus disguised himself to make off with Europa, then turned back into his human form to make love with her. When Mrs. Zeus--a.k.a Hera--came looking for him, correctly suspecting he was stepping out on her AGAIN, he turned Europa into a cow to protect her from Hera’s wrath. Half suspicious of the cow, half pleased that she would be gifted with such a beautiful animal (so Zeus said), she had her bodyguard of 100 eyes--can’t remember his name off the top of my head right now--keep an eye on the cow. So Zeus had Apollo play his lyre for the bodyguard until he fell completely asleep and all 100 eyes were closed--and 100 Eyes was promptly dispatched. Europa was rescued and returned to Zeus, and meanwhile Hera set her bodyguard’s eyes into her sacred bird in homage to him. That’s where the peacock’s fancy feathers came from
The Minotaur is just an unloved child who was locked away forever by his parents. Poor thing
Parent, minus wasn't his dad
Well, he was more animal than man. Its not like the story implies he had a personality besides being an angry bull man monster
@@kingjonathan2328 well he was also locked away from the bull so he couldn’t see his real father either
Wasn't the queen locked in with him? I can't remember.
It probably had a hair like disorder that's why they called it a beast
the timeline where minos doesn't say "JUDGEMENT!" and performing explosive drop kick at a blue robot with gopro head then get parried
Timeline when gopro does not have spare change
If he was smart he would have breeded the white bull then sacrificed it.
Maybe it wasn’t the right season for cow breeding
Unfortunately he didn't wanted just one clone-
I think the bull needs to be unspoiled.
Otherwise, you might as well use it for breeding until its too old before sacrificing it.
He did. Bred it with his wife
@@zewang3364 well it was certainly the right season for his wife.
Little known fact but the Minotaur actually had a proper name. His mother named him Asterion or Asterius depending on which translation you read. Apparently it was in honor of the child’s maternal grandfather of the same name.
It’s a shame the myth doesn’t go into greater detail on Pasiphaë’s relationship with her son. She seemed to truly love him.
@@UltimateThanos She nursed and raised him for a good time, Aphrodite's love wasn't just a hypnotic spell, she made pasiphae literally in love with the bull and their mutual offspring. only when Minotaur truly lost it's mind and became a savage, man eating beast Pasiphae was forced to abandon him because Minos didn't want his people to get hurt.
@@azidahaka8543 imagine if they taught him how to control his strength and destructiveness how would've the story ended?
Parsiphae was a grandaughter of the Titan Helios and a skilled witch. I love when he is called 'son of Parsiphae' instead of 'Minos's bull' (Minotaur)
When I was a kid, i loved greek mythology. I took out every book to read.
What was strange to me was when I was young, in 4th -7th grade, there were all these references to Zeus "kidnapping" women.
When I went to college, I was surprised that all these kidnappings and Zeus "taking" a bride were actually called R44Pes.
I love how a lot of these stories starts with zeus can't hold his urge to breed
Poor Pasiphae…did Poseidon and Aphrodite REALLY need to get her involved?
Yes
I wonder if she could ever be pleased again.. Bull size > man size
You mean the gods not screwing over unrelated innocent bystanders? Never.
Mortals are playthings to them after all
The gods are as petty as humans... Sadly, they deemed it necessary
It humiliated the king
Ahh... free at last. O Gabriel, now dawns thy reckoning, and thy gore shall GLISTEN before the temples of Man! Creature of Steel, my gratitude upon thee for my freedom. But the crimes thy kind have committed against humanity are NOT forgotten! And thy punishment... is DEATH.
I knew I’d see this eventually
The Minotaur was also given his own Name, Asterion.
He shared his Name with a River God, who also was a Bull Man, though I don't exactly know their connection beyond that.
"Minotaur" was more like a title. His real name was Asterion.
Also, is there a reason why the Minotaur is often depicted carrying an axe?
I guess it fits well with the character of Minotaur, it’s very aggressive, strong, and has a blunt iq, same with how a ax is very sturdy. All u have to do is swing and it can cause destruction.
Depiction of labrys (dual-bladed axe) is characteristic for minoan art. I guess they jammed few things together in the past.
Greeks version of Furry gone wrong
Or right, depending on your kink
🤨
The lesson of this story: bestiality is bad
And do not cheat deities.
And you have to build a deep labyrinth to keep it quite.
Unless the beast isn't Zeus in disguise.
Fun fact: Pasiphae is the sister of Circe and Aeetes, so it's mean the minotaur is Medea's cousin and Circe's nephew.
Yes, also pasiphae was horrible to Circe, so she wasn't so much an innocent victim as the stories make her out to be. She was happy with using the minotaur as a bargaining chip against Minos
actually Poseidon did not get angry because "He sent a bull to be sacrificed for his own glory" this is complete nonense and purposefully misunderstood. When you set a pact with the Gods, they trust you so you do your part with honesty and honor. If you betray that loyalty, they will show you a lesson, simple as that.
Sounds like semantics.
"The weird origin of" pretty much applies to most things in myths.
The first room of the video, with King Minos, is a direct recreation of the actual throne room in the Palace of Knossos, down to the wall painting, placement of the throne, and the appearance of the throne itself. Respect for the research and effort!
So basically this Minotaur was a result of BESTIALITY
Love mythology but it’s always the supporting characters that get punished for the main dude’s vanity/hubris. Minos wife, andromeda got chained to a rock, and on and on. Punished by associating. Choose your friends wisely and distance yourself from family that wants to anger the gods.
What I don't understand is why did Minos imprison the Minotaur in the labyrinth instead of just killing it at birth? The only conclusions I can arrive at is: A: he took pity on the monster cuz it had been born of his wife who probably pitied it as well. Or (and this is probably the most likely reason), B: he didn't want to risk angering Poseidon further by killing the creature fathered by the very bull sent to be the sea god's sacrifice.
Second one seems to be the most agreed upon. He already angered poseidon by keeping the bull, he didn't want to anger him further by killing the creature hed created
You're right. Poseidon obviously knew what would come of the blasphemous union as that was the punishment.
@@Asimov_ but then Poseidon's son kills the Minotaur and obviously Poseidon supports that ? I think it's the former reason, Minos pitied the creature since it was born from his wife. Also, by keeping Minotaur alive, Minos was able to threaten Athens of war so they gave 14 sacrifices to prevent that.
@@azidahaka8543 I think either perspective on why Minos kept it alive is fascinating, giving a different facet to the character depending on interpretation, and personally I think you make some very interesting points like the threat of the Minotaur being like a proverbial nuke during Athen's tribute to Minos. I think though that one could assume that Poseidon himself didn't care whether the Minotaur lived or died, just if Minos did it. If Minos killed it, then he would be subverting the gods punishment, and therefore his will, for a second time. Which would obv be deeply offensive. So when Theseus, future hero in the making comes along, Poseidon is fine with him killing his half brother because he's an entirely new guy who has nothing to do with his punishment of Minos. In fact it might be more punishing that the Minotaur die when he did because by then he was Minos's chained monster that kept Athens terrified. Killing it would mean that Minos would lose that strategic threat. Honestly, all of this is mostly conjecture, but that's definitely one interpretation I could see of the myth based off the information we have
@@Asimov_ Yep, really interesting point. So basically Minos initially did loved Minotaur because he was born of Pasiphae, then realised it's destructive nature & to avoid enraging poseidon by killing him, he spared him and jailed him in the Labyrinth. and to assert his dominance and also save his own people & keeping the Minotaur fed, he forced Athens to send 14 young athenians every year as tribute. Ultimately, Theseus ends up his dominance by slaying his pet.
PS: What i find amusing is that Minos in myths is later killed by Theseus by boiling water, when he tries to search for Theseus in different kingdoms. It's like his single mistake of not sacrificing the bull ended his magnificent Career. I really like this myth more than Jason's journey and Heracles's 12 labours, because this myth despite being straightforward has more interesting characters and plot & it doesn't have unnecessary stuff. Just short, interesting, small and precise.
Ah yes, the Minotaur. If I am correct, it's name was Asterios.
... And now He and Theseus are best friends and fighting together against Zagreus, the son of Hades😅♥️
Aye
@@Mahari316 Good luck to them in their life together! Their cheers!😃🥰🥰

The Minotaur is my favorite monster from Greek Mythology! 🐮
the Kraken is the one the scares me the most
@@eglantinepapeau1582 oh, true to that!
Greek mythology is my favourite mythology, second Egyptian, third nordic and fourth the arabian mythology, the arabian mytholgoy has the phoneix, the original phoneix (Alqa). Even in greek mythology the phoneix is said to live in Arabia, and in egyptian mythology it is said that the bird orginated from arabia to egypt, the phoneix is a part of the greek and roman mythology, but the bird originated from Arabia and is normaly an arabian bird (Alqa), the name phoneix came from greek mythology.
@@eglantinepapeau1582 That’s Norse mythology. Andromeda was actually sacrificed to a sea serpent named Cetus.
Medusa and the Minotaur are two mythological monsters that I always felt sorry for.
Medusa was always a monster. Her being a victim of Poseidon and Athena was made up by a Roman poet who had problems with authority. I do feel sorry for the Minotaur
Medusa and Minotaur have a problem with being depicted as races instead of characters
@@animeismidashellIn Medusa's case she was or at least inspired Gorgons.

As a Greek it makes me very happy to see our mythology being broadcasted in this manner for all the world to see and I understand that names need to be translated to be more pronouncable for other languages as long as they don't differ too much from their origins. So please everyone the K in Knossós is pronounced otherwise you are referring to an entirely different thing ☺️
I'm scared to ask what it would be referring to but I gotta know lol
@@Twilight.Knight nosos instead of Knossos means disease, illness
If Anglophones don't pronounce the k in "knight" or p in "pterodactyl", they won't pronounce the k in "Knossos."
@@Twilight.Knight pestilence
@@Dimitrije_Sukovic when it comes names they should that's all i m saying. We are expected to pronounce their names and cities correctly why shouldn't they?
The animation has gotten soooo good, I can't wait to see each new episode!
To be clear on one thing, this story doesn’t reflect a reality in which ancient greeks were engaging in bestiality. On the contrary it reflects the fundamental Greek fear of bestiality and such perverse acts. An act seen as a total violation of the natural order, an act of horrifying transgression which would lead only to pain and sorrow.
Fine. But what about Ganymede?
@@TheCryingEarth_Chan_Ganymede is not an animal.
@@arvinroidoatienza7082 yeah, but he is a kid and Zeus is an animal
@@TheCryingEarth_Chan_ not literally. And bestiality involves the man violating the animal, not the other way around
We can’t just nonchalantly gloss over the Queen wanting the bull, AND someone helps her get got? That’s just weird…
She pays him.
She is the queen
Ever heard of furries?🤣
@@srfrg9707 even Furries wouldn't condone this
I never gloss over bestiality. That was seriously the most disturbing part of the whole story.
THY END IS NOW

PREPARE THYSELF!
CRUSH!
The human sacrifices was from a rival kingdom who did something I forgot what of, and their punishment was going to far. That's when Theseus came. In the movie of 2011 Immortals with Henry Cavill, the minotaur was a bulky human with a spiky bull helmet, and 2006 syfy tv-film Minotaur with Tom Hardy has it as quadrupedal with a skullish head and its horns point forward instead of upwards.
It was athens, i think, in a competition they killed a cousin of minos and so the Athenians owed minos and he started demanding sacrifices.
To me it sounds like a local interpretation of the Hittite horned God Taur, Norse Thor, or South Slavic Tarhun.
It's concerning how she took all of that and walked out intact
Not sure she walked away that easily after she was done though.
She's fine. It was a white bull. A black bull, on the other hand...
Regarding 2:31, Pasiphae copulated with the Cretan Bull in what is described in Latin as "coitus more ferarum". Pasiphaë was also the sister of Circe, the enchantress who beguiled Odysseus and turned his men into swine. Pasiphaë and Circe were also the aunts of Medea who eloped with Jason and escaped with the Argonauts after they absconded with the Golden Fleece stolen from Medea's father Aeetes, the King of Colchis who was also the brother of Pasiphae and Circe.
All of Greek Mythology is really just a big family drama
Pasiphaë is Daughter of Helios
@@Sun-God2 wait Helios wasn't mad at poseidon for this?
I heard a different version.
Minos was in competition with his brothers for the throne. To claim the throne he asked Poseidon to send the white majestic bull to the Palace to show the gods support him to be king.
The reet goes the same. He was to sacrifice the bull but kept it.
I saw Minotaur and creation, I clicked faster before Pasiphaë could fall in love with that bull
This myth is awesome! I’m glad you’re doing it.
Imagine the bull didn't actually eat humans and that hole time in the maze he was all like where's My grass lol
I see what you did there
I'm picturing my boi Minotaur sitting down taking a hit thinking about life and the universe. Then Theseus comes in like, I heard you got that good stuff. Then they get together and talk. Then they get so so high they fly out of the maze like "peace, Greece!" and come to America where they open up a music store because they forgot it's 2024 and people don't buy songs on CD's anymore lol
Yep, that was true she give birth to Minotaur. 3:05 After many years he ordered Daedalus to constructed huge Labyrinth to keep Minotaur would be imprisoned. No one can to stop the Minotaur but one person can stop this named Theseus. Yes that The Weird Origin of the Terrible Minotaur in the story in Greek Mythology history.
And it was 100% free contrary to our modern psychiatry.
Think the Father and Posideon could actually share a bottle of wine and rhetorically ask "Why do they have to make a simple thing so difficult? Just sacrifice the bull."
Human nature

Good afternoon to everyone. I did not know all this .you reminded me of my love of greek mithology .thank you for the video
One of my favorite stories!🏛
I love this animation, albeit not very animated, but the narration is absolutely wonderful.
Interesting that Asterion wasn't killed outright, and instead was given a steady diet of human beings to hunt and devour at his leisure inside his prison to sat his bloodlust.
Can't believe I didn't know the Minotaur's given name 'til now. Thanks, X X.
I think it has something to do with kin killing being forbidden by the gods.
The story of the Minotaur it’s going to be awesome I can’t wait
Just imagine the minotaur going through the normal phases like a human
Pasiphae: "Asterion did you take out the trash"
Asterion : "SHUT UP MOM IM PLAYING HALO"
Minos: "kid come on cooperate a bit"
Asterion: "Shut up you arent my real dad"
🤣🤣🤣
Funny, how the Minotaur never (at least from sources) sought escaping the labyrinth, to become an outside power. Naturally there would be arguments against leaving (the constant supply of food through sacrifices, reasonable shelter, etc.), but I think he'd have done better to not be imprisoned, unless there was something physically preventing him from leaving the center of the maze. Additionally, what would drive people to move deeper into the labyrinth, unless deposited (maybe from an otherwise inaccessible overhead trapdoor), where the victims would seek escape from the center, trying to work their way outwards.
He wasn’t exactly known for his brains. 😅
One of the Weirdest Stories in Greek mythology that makes you question how it survived so long by word mouth and documents.
I remember The Minotaur in Chronicles of Narnia🐂
Romans 10:9
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
King James Version (KJV)
John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Galatians 3:26 King James Version 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Titus 3:5-7 King James Version 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Revelation 21:4 King James Version 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Matthew 28:19-20 King James Version 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
It ain't "bull" with this story! LOL! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This is the myth for everyone who didn't think the tale of Sleipnir's origin was weird enough.
Slepnir is weird since his Mother is a male god
Always felt the Minotaur was a tragic character, brought into the world by the manipulations of the gods and brought into a cruel world. The gods could have intervened to give the minotaur some peace, but they preferred to watch the suffering of mankind from afar.
I love how Daedalus just helps with everything! No matter how weird it is (like sleeping with a bull!). 😂
This really interesting to hear n watch every new uploads of story
I wonder if breeding the perfect cattle THEN sacrificing it is acceptable for Poseidon? Its technically still sacrificed, just delayed a bit. Lol
That's an interesting idea!
To his credit, Minos still tried to raise the minotaur as his own for a while, lol.

In ancient sumerian mythology the origin of all mythology ,Enkido the minotaur became the best friend of king Gilgamesh ,and they both killed the heavenly bull 🐂 sent by the gods.
Hercules could tame that bull. And Kratos could have it for dinner.
I love this story it’s a good one
I have thought that if the gods and monsters and other characters from Greek mythology were somehow transported to the modern world, the Minotaur could end up living quite happily in Austin, Texas as the honored mascot for the University of Texas Longhorns. (I assume his favorite meal would be Aggie Stew.)
It eats people
@@excessiveone9952 Don't be judgmental.
Wonder what dedalus was thinking the whole time he was asked to make that fake cow costume.
King Minos locked away Daedelus and Ikaris out of fear that Daedelus would tell people how the Labyrinth worked. Yet it was the king's own daughter who spilled that tea.
Imo, Daedelus would have no reason to tell people how the labyrinth worked. I don't think he's the type to squeal like a pig about the ins and outs of his architectural achievements
No bull here man! LOL! 🐮
Facts, but hey, Minos just uh... yeah, ain't in the right mind 😅
Haha, Hasan, I see what you did there. "Squeal like a pig." "Ins and outs." Nice thinly veiled reference to the movie "Deliverance".

I was just reading Circe and now it makes sense
Amazing
The minotaur comes from the Cretan Bull which Hercules had killed.
Um,no. It was actually Theseus who killed it. As the seventh labour of Hercules, king Eurystheus ordered him to capture the Cretan Bull and bring it back to him. He did and had it shipped back to Tiryns. But it later broke free, went on a loose and ended up in Marathon becoming also known as the "Marathonian Bull". After Theseus arrive in Athens, King Aegeus, unaware that he was his son(while in some versions says that Poseidon is his father or in some others they both are)sent him to capture it. While on his way there was a storm then he received shelter from an elderly woman named Hecale,whom swore a sacrifice to Zeus if he was successful, which he was but found her dead when he returned to her hut then built a deme. and had the bull sacrificed to Athena and/or Apollo. So he first killed the father then the son.
So The Minotaur was The Prince? Interesting...
No. As Minos is the King, his heir is prince. The minotaur is a bastard (in more than one meanings).
A throwback to 3 years ago.
I remember that we were translating this story from Latin to German in school. It was during an exam and while I was translating this story I was *convinced* I translated something wrong because this story was so.... special
