Combines my 2 favourite genres of fantasy and science fiction! In the Myth of the Minotaur , if not for the ministrations of the humble Princess Ariadne, Theseus —the Greek hero—would not have had a prayer. Although often portrayed as a mere maiden, truth be... Theseus, a prince of Athens, wanted to put a stop to these sacrifices. So he joined the children as offerings with the aim of killing the monster. In Crete, Theseus met King Minos' daughter, Ariadne. She offered to help him in his quest in exchange for helping her escape to Athens. Ariadne sought advice from the inventor of the labyrinth and presented Theseus with a sword and ball of string to help him find his way out.

Some 19th century mythologists proposed that the Minotaur was a personification of the sun and a Minoan adaptation of the Baal- Moloch of the Phoenicians. The slaying of the Minotaur by Theseus in that case could be interpreted as a memory of Athens breaking tributary relations with Minoan Crete.

Cook, Minos and Minotaur were different forms of the same personage, representing the sun-god of the Cretans, who depicted the sun as a bull. He and J. G. Frazer both explain Pasiphaë's union with the bull as a sacred ceremony, at which the queen of Knossos was wedded to a bull-formed god, just as the wife of the Tyrant in Athens was wedded to Dionysus. E. Pottier, who does not dispute the historical personality of Minos, in view of the story of Phalaris, considers it probable that in Crete (where a bull cult may have existed by the side of that of the labrys) victims were tortured by being shut up in the belly of a red-hot brazen bull. The story of Talos, the Cretan man of brass, who heated himself red-hot and clasped strangers in his embrace as soon as they landed on the island, is probably of similar origin. While the ruins of Minos's palace at Knossos were discovered, the Labyrinth never was. The multiplicity of rooms, staircases and corridors in the palace has led some archaeologists to suggest that the palace itself was the source of the Labyrinth myth, with over 1300maze-like compartments, [24] an idea that is now generally discredited. [d] The councillors who took part in the rebellion were suspended by the Labour Party. [20] Shortly after, Gibbons was expelled. The party claimed this was because he had given an interview to the left-wing Socialist Appeal, which was proscribed by the party leadership. [18] deSimone, C. (1970).
