Making a Monster: The Birth of the Minotaur

An interesting essay from St. Mary's University by Sarah Mares

The Minotaur has been imprisoned in the darkness of the labyrinth for many years.  But when it was young, before it was captured, it was free to roam the Cretan countryside.

When the captives are thrust into the labyrinth, they are fair, clean and garlanded with sweet smelling flowers.

Stumbling across one of these blooms in the utter darkness, inhaling its fragrance, does the Minotaur recall the warmth and brightness of the sun? The beauty of the meadows he once prowled...?

Or does it just think "Ah, lunch is served?"
