    I have so many questions. First of all, thank you for the lore!

    Does the word “pacifist” derive from the beastiality woman’s name? And was the ancient torture device where they shove a person inside a metal bull that gets lit on fire inspired by this story? What did Icarus do to get incarcerated alongside his dad? What ever happened to the not-sacrificed bull?

    You don’t have to answer any of these btw haha. What a bizarre story. I can see why they left it out of Hades.

      I think the bronze bull that people would get thrown into and boiled was to worship Moloch. Different part of the world

      Why is my comment yellow

        That makes sense. It’s weird how ancient people were all about making bullsuits.

        Your comment’s piss-colored as a reference to how pissed off Minos was when his bull cheated on him. The devs above are big mythology fans you see so they put it in the latest Lemmy version update.
