greek minotaur
I have not a sliver of doubt that the greek minotaur of Crete island is not a man-bull or a bull-man, according to common beliefs.
but a donkey-horse-man, a mule-man. that is why he kidnapped ariadne.
"if a mule were to give birth...", the proverb---
that was the angle the mythographers were playing at.
I can hear the braying of that half-animal in the labyrinth. it is definitely laughing now,
and soon it will gnaw off either carrots or something with more protein than fibre.
