Description
The Minotaur tells the story of Asterion, later known as Minotaur, the supposed half bull creature of Greek legend. Recorded by the famous Roman poet Ovid, this account explores Asterion's boyhood in Crete under his stepfather Minos' cruel hand, his adventures with a friend, and his growing love for a beautiful woman. Asterion's story is one of survival and resilience, set against the backdrop of ancient Greek mythology. This unique perspective on a famous legend offers a fresh insight into the life of a creature often misunderstood. The true story of the Minotaur is revealed in this retelling, which sheds new light on the myths surrounding Asterion's existence.
