Poseidon sent a bull to Minos and asked to be sacrificed in his name. But when Minos saw the bull, he was amazed and could not bear to sacrifice it. Even his wife Pasiphae fell in love with the bull.
Because it's like everything on earth went extinct, husband and wife fell in love with a bull. They tried to make it official mythology, these Romans, Greeks, all peoples… Anyway.
Just as Pasiphae fell in love, in order to be with the bull, the artist asked Daedalus to make a hollow cow mold. He was hidden in this mold and mated with a bull.
The child born from this mating is the Minotaur.
The Minotaur was a human body and a bull-headed beast. Although he suckled his mother as a baby, over time he turned into a wild beast that eats human flesh.
His father must have thought like us in Minos, that he breathed next to the oracle in Delphi. He said, "Oh, let me be your servant, tell me why you are a prophet, you are a seer" he said. Then he ordered Deadalus to build a messy labyrinth.
Labyrinth is also labyrinth. It was so complex that it was impossible for anyone to get out of it. They claimed the Minotaur into the labyrinth.
The minotaur ate every living thing he found in the passages. Meanwhile, his father Minos became famous by traveling many countries. An Athenian remained unconquered. Because Athens was so well guarded, Minos prayed to seize it with an epidemic. Because why? Since he is the son of Zeus, his prayers would be accepted.
The gods certainly granted his wish. When the epidemic spread like corona, the king of Athens had to negotiate. Minos said that if he gave seven men and seven women to the labyrinth, he would stop the epidemic. The oracle at Delphi also confirmed that this is the only way to prevent the epidemic. The bargain was concluded and Athens sent seven men and seven women. The sent ones are thrown into the maze. This situation was repeated twice, and when it was time for the third, a brave man emerged who wanted to put an end to this massacre.
