    Wasn’t Minos supposed to sacrifice the bull back to Poseidon and didn’t Poseidon curse pasiphae to fall in love with the bull as punishment for Minos refusing to sacrifice the bull?

      @@jamesknott5255 Yeahh, the whole Minotaur story is just, the Cretan bull was a sacrifice to Poseidon, but Minos didn't kill it, so he used another bull. Poseidon cursed the bull to gone mad, and made Pasiphae fall in love with the bull. Pasiphae told Daedalus to build a cow figure with wood, and wool/cloth as skin so she could hide in it for the bull to mate. She gave birth to the Minotaur, gave him much care. The Minotaur gone mad just like his father was. Minos got pissed, he told Daedalus to build the Labyrinth underground of Knossos, island in Crete. Minos made king Aegeus pick seven boys and seven girls as a sacrifice for the Minotaur every 9 years. One day Theseus came to the Labyrinth, used a ball of yarn so he could find his way in and way back out. He strangled the Minotaur from behind very easy. He didn't fight it, he strangled it, which it was easy for Theseus. So yeah, that's the story.

      On a related note, after the Minotaur was born, Minos STILL refused to sacrifice the bull. So Zeus caused it to go crazy and become the Mad Bull of Crete, one of Hercules’ Twelve Labors

    ”Ancient Greece“ never became a country, and it was the Romans who finally unified Greece. And the first country with a majority of Greeks was Eastern Rome, what an irony. Just like the predecessor of modern India was the Indian Empire established by the British.

    One fact to keep in mind is that what we now call Minoan is the civilization that was conquered by the Mycenaean. These are myths are told about a people we can’t understand because their language has not been deciphered. We have archaeological conjecture with an invaders story.

    This speaks deeply to the very ancient custom of practicing bestiality as a form of religious offering to a nature god, perhaps a cow if you were a man. And if you were a woman, you had to go through an elaborate charade to convince a bull, who isn't exactly as smart as a fox, that you are in fact, and smell like, a cow in heat. Perhaps ancient priestesses performed this copulation as a ritual offering to a bull-god, who must have represented the relatively new way of animal husbandry (no pun intended!) over the old hunting culture? Being a zoophile myself, I just think there's more to this story than meets the eye, if that's the appropriate phrase. And I must admit, the mechanics of Pasiphae's lust intrigue me... I'm sure some CAD software could tell me what I want to know, but I'm not going to learn it at my age!

    Here's something I've never understood, why do these shows have to have 5 different people making comments on the subject? It's very annoying. One person says a few words, then another person says a few words etc etc. What are they trying to do? Give more academics work? It's just dumb and I can't watch it. I had rather watch a TH-cam video by some unknown person ( there's lots of really great independent videos on TH-cam) than watch anything produced by the BBC or any mainstream media channel, or especially the history channel, they really suck now. Well, that's my rant, I feel much better! Time to find something better to watch! Cheers mate!

    Not being a party pooper, just gonna see if this is all correct.
    You mean when king Minos requested for a bull, Poseidon gave the Cretan bull as a gift, he didn't curse queen Pasiphae right away, he wanted Minos to sacrifice the bull, but it was so beautiful he sacrificed another bull, instead of the bull Poseidon gave, which that actually angered Poseidon, which he cursed the Cretan bull to gone mad, and thennn he cursed Pasiphae to fall in love with the bull. Also the Minotaur was never cursed, Pasiphae raised him with much care, it's just when he wasn't fed upon human food, then he started eating human's flesh, but it was also cause he had a really bad temper, he was not evil. Yeah king Minos was so pissed off cause the Minotaur kept killing every civilization, so he asked Daedalus a very genius craftsman, skillful ass architect, to build the Labyrinth. I mean yeah there's stories of people, jeez probably Gods or heroes mated with animals. There's even animals with human bodies, or mostly heads. Also the Minotaur isn't the only bull with long horns, we still have some bulls with long horns, long they can't even straighten their head. Also the Minotaur had no association with Aurochs, Aurochs were/are the real ancestors of our modern cattles during the dinosaur years. Dinosaurs were real, not the Minotaur. Well if we have evidence, but still don't have any. The Minotaur head wasn't even an auroch, it was just like what would you think? A regular bull. The Minotaur wasn't also that big/large, he was just muscular like a hero. "It was truly Behemoth" The Minotaur was not fucking large dude, Behemoth was a creature in the Bible's Book of Job, a creature God created in the beginning of creation. Behemoth was depicted as the size of the sauropods, the diplodocus or the brachiosaurus, Behemoth was a hippopotamus. The Minotaur was not that huge. The Labyrinth wasn't the Minotaur's home, it was a maze, as his prison, Crete is his home, which the Labyrinth was in Crete but the maze wasn't his home, just his prison. Also this was dumb, the channel was not blocked. Also the mermaids in Greek mythology were called "Nereids", said to be member of the nymph species called "Haliades". And I'm sorry did I hear him say "Minotaurs"? Dude. There was only one Minotaur in Greek mythology, there weren't others or like a species. Mermaids and the Minotaur have in common, dude this woman you heard is down right wrong. The Nereids is nothing like seals. Also the Nereids wouldn't just kill sailors, they were friendly and helpful to sailors, they helped the Argonauts to find the Golden fleece, they also accompanied Poseidon like he was their father. Well really they are the daughters of Nereus, the grand-daughters of the literal embodiment of the sea Pontus. The Nereids didn't sing for the sailors to come to death. That would be more of a Sirens thing, well that causes hypnosis when they sing but they still caused death. They are similar to Sirens but seriously they didn't really kill sailors, they helped sailors through storms. They weren't sinister/evil, they were neutral. The Minotaur is nothing like the Nereids, the guy doesn't sing to lure his predators? He is just known for killing them, not by doing something to able to kill them. THE SEA WAS NOTHING LIKE THE LABYRINTH ARE YOU FOR REAL? The Minotaur is nothing like the Nereids, just said that.. Theseus did not pretend to be a sacrifice to the Minotaur, he was informing king Minos he is meant to kill the Minotaur. He actually strangled the Minotaur to death from behind pretty easily, wasn't hard for Theseus, he didn't use a sword some say he did but he didn't. The Minotaur is just known as being the son of a bull and queen Pasiphae, ate people, was imprisoned in the Labyrinth, and was killed by Theseus, there was no extra evidence and stories of him. This was kinda good, but junk.
