Today, part three of the Myths; a very serious part: about the fruits of unhealthy love!
“Minotaur (usually depicted as a man with a bull's head, but sometimes in the form of a creature with a human head and torso, and with a bull's body from the waist down.
He was born from the union of Pasifae, the wife of Minos, and a bull sent by Poseidon. Minos promised to sacrifice the animal, but he did not keep his promise. Poseidon took revenge, making Pasifae love the bull.
The menacing Minotaur was locked by King Minos of Crete in a Labyrinth designed by Daedalus, which was located under the Palace of Knossos.
Minos defeated the Athenians and demanded that every 9 years (according to other versions - every 3 years), 7 youths and 7 virgins should be sent as a sacrifice to the Minotaur (in one version of the myth as punishment for the death of Androgeos, son of Minos). In the third round, Prince Theseus reported as a victim, who was supposed to kill the monster. The minotaur guarded the Labirinth.
Theseus was helped by Minos' daughter, Ariadne, who was charmed by the courage of the young man, which, using a ball of thread, made it easier for him to return from the Labyrinth, and the magic sword allowed him to kill the Minotaur.
Thus, Theseus led the Athenians alive out of the Labyrinth in which he had killed the Minotaur.”
Now me:
In which way was Minotaur to blame? He was not at fault, and he had a hard fate!
Thus, children suffer for the guilt of their sinful parents!
