I'm sure the Minotaur is in Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, but I haven't read all those books, so I'm not, I'm sure they're there, and I'm sure they're probably some computer games. Before we talk about chaos, my favorite depiction of the Minotaur is by Mary Reynolds, who was writing in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. She wrote a trilogy about Theseus, and the first one's called The King Must Die.

She has a really clever take on the Minotaur. She has the bull, the cow, the kind of model made by Daedalus is for these bull jumpers, because we know in Crete, in Knossos, the palace of Knossos, we know from frescoes that

that there was a bull motif, that there were bull, giant bull horns on some of these buildings, and that we see frescoes of these young acrobats jumping over bulls in a kind of early version of bullfighting, which must have been terrifying, but also impressive.

So Mary Reynolds has Theseus coming as tribute that they have to, these 14 children, seven boys and seven girls, have to learn how to dance with the bulls and become bull leapers. So in the bullring where they're training, they have a practice cowl, like the way gymnasts have, what do you call it, a horse or whatever.

Absolutely. They're jumping on this, whatever, this bolster quite creature. I wonder if that's actually a holdover for the bull jumpers, the bull leapers. Anyway, it's very clever because they've created, like the bull, the cow that Pacify occupies, the framework of a cow or a bull that someone can climb inside and operate it from inside. And according to Mary Reynolds,

The Minotaur is the son, Asterion, of not Minos, but Pasiphae, Pasiphae, who fell in love with a bull leaper from Assyria. So he was kind of a hairy guy, though he was quite young at the time. He impregnated her, then died in the bull ring. And she gave birth to this kind of... He's human, but he doesn't look Cretan.

He doesn't have the slim build of many Cretans and the honey-colored skin of many Cretans. He's kind of hairier and has bulging eyes and a kind of bull-like neck. So what Mary Reynolds has done is made him a person with kind of bestial aspects. And what the really clever thing is, she says that...
