In the Labyrinth all deals are shady.
Skullduggery holds sway.
Inherent in the word myth lurks vague notions of a time long past. Way back then, there must have been little choice but to explain the mysteries of existence by way of fantastical tales that pit humans against, placed them among, even embodied them in more powerful supernatural beings. However dubious the motivations of some of these gods, and however dubious the logic if it s fair to use the word of the stories, they were sufficient at explaining things. Edith Hamilton describes the Minotaur as a monster, half bull, half human, who was born to Pasipha , the wife of Minos, and a beautiful bull who had been given to Minos by Poseidon. Poseidon expected Minos to sacrifice the bull as a tribute to him, but once Minos caught sight of the rare creature, he could not bear to give him up.
