As the unnatural offspring of a woman and a beast, the Minotaur had no natural source of nourishment and thus devoured humans for sustenance. Pasiphaë nursed the Minotaur but he grew in size and became ferocious. Pasiphaë had the craftsman Daedalus fashion a hollow wooden cow, which she climbed into in order to mate with the bull. To punish Minos, Poseidon made Minos' wife Pasiphaë fall in love with the bull. Minos believed that the god would accept a substitute sacrifice.
Minos was to sacrifice the bull to honor Poseidon, but owing to the bull's beauty he decided instead to keep him. Minos prayed to the sea god Poseidon to send him a snow-white bull as a sign of the god's favour. The bronze "Horned God" from Enkomi, CyprusĪfter ascending the throne of the island of Crete, Minos competed with his brothers as ruler. The following can be found in dictionaries: / ˈ m aɪ. The use of "minotaur" as a common noun to refer to members of a generic "species" of bull-headed creatures developed much later, in 20th-century fantasy genre fiction.Įnglish pronunciation of the word "Minotaur" is varied.
"Minotaur" was originally a proper noun in reference to this mythical figure. In Etruscan, the Minotaur had the name Θevrumineś. In Crete, the Minotaur was known by the name Asterion, a name shared with Minos' foster-father. Also, Godzilla, I’m sorry for what we’ve done to offend you.The word minotaur derives from the Ancient Greek Μῑνώταυρος, a compound of the name Μίνως ( Minos) and the noun ταῦρος "bull", translated as "(the) Bull of Minos". Fortunately I caught it after a few minutes, but basically, there’s a reason I suddenly drop in and out of this episode near the beginning. After it restarted and I checked my microphone, I swear I pressed record and then … it didn’t record. Here, my microphone decided to stop working at some point, and then my laptop decided that it needed to be restarted about 15 minutes later. In the first Godzilla episode, I (Nicole) had to rerecord a bunch of my dialogue because the website we were using to sync our audio also distorted it. Like I said, a lot to talk about.Īlso, I just want to point out that our Godzilla episodes are cursed. How Caitlin, Nicole, and Madicken should apparently start an ASMR podcast with electronic dance music. How monsters can’t just give off magic radiation that will heal the planet. How you can’t just mix together animal sounds to make a magical bioacoustic that allows you to talk to giant monsters. There is a lot to talk about in this episode. The OG Godzilla team is back together to discuss Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the sequel to the 2014 Godzilla.
