@@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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
