Minotauro
Beings - Greek mythology
The Minotaur is a character from Greek mythology whose most traditional depiction of the ancient Greeks was a creature with the head of a bull on a man's body. The Roman author Ovid described it simply as "part man and part bull". It inhabited the center of the Labyrinth, an elaborate construction erected for King Minos of Crete, and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son, Icarus specifically to house the creature. El historical site of Knossos, con más 1300 compartments semejantes the labyrinths, ya fue identified as el lugar del laberinto del Minotauro, aunque no compelling pruebas existen that confirmen the desmintieron such especulación. In myth, the Minotaur eventually dies by the hands of the Athenian hero Theseus.
El Nogueira end viene del Griego antiguo Μῑνώταυρος, etimológicamente compuesto por el nombre Μίνως (Minos) y el ταύρος noun ( "twist"), y puede ser Traducido as "(the) Tauro Minos". In Crete, the Minotaur was known by its name, Astérion, a name that he shared with the adoptive father of Minos. Originally, Minotauro was only used as a proper name, referring to this mythical figure. El use of minotaur as un común noun designating a los miembros de una y fictitious generic raza anthropogenic creatures con cabezas de toro surgió later bien en el gender fantastic ficción del siglo XX.
Story
After assuming the throne of Crete, Minos went on to fight his brothers for the right to rule the island. He then begged the god of the sea, Poseidon to send him a white bull as snow, as a sign of approval to his reign. Minos should sacrifice the bull in homage to the god, but decided to keep it due to its immense beauty. Because of her failure to keep the promise and as a means of punishing Minos, the goddess Aphrodite caused Pasiphae, wife of Minos, to fall madly in love with the bull from the sea, the Cretan Torus. Pasiphae then asked the archetypal craftsman Daedalus to build a wooden cow in which she could hide in the interior, in order to mate with the white bull. The son of this crossing was the monstrous Minotaur. Parsifa took care of him during his childhood, but eventually he grew up and became fierce; being the fruit of an unnatural union between man and wild animal, had no natural source of food, and needed to devour men to survive. Minos, after counseling with the oracle at Delphi, asked Daedalus to build a gigantic labyrinth to house the creature, located near the palace of Minos himself, at Knossos.
Nowhere was the essence of the myth expressed more succinctly than in the Heróidas, attributed to Ovid, in which the daughter of Pasiphae claims of the curse of her unrequited love: "Zeus loved Europe, like a bull, hiding his divine head and in the case of a person other than his family, his family, obscuring the mystical marriage of the god in the form of a bull, a myth myth that was foreign to the Greeks.
The Minotaur is usually represented in classical art with the body of a man, and the head and tail of a bull. One of the forms assumed by the river god Aqueloo in wooing Dejanira is that of a man with a bull's head, according to the play Traquínias, by Sophocles.
From the classical periods to the Renaissance, the Minotaur appears as the subject of various descriptions of the Labyrinth. The account of the Roman author Ovid on the Minotaur, in Latin, which does not elaborate on which half of the creature was a bull and which was a man, was the most widespread during the Middle Ages, and various illustrations made in the period and then show the Minotaur with one. the reverse configuration in relation to its classical appearance: a head and torso of man on a body of a bull, similar to a centaur. This alternative tradition lasted until the Renaissance, and still figures in modern versions of the myth, such as Steele Savage's illustrations for Mythology, by Edith Hamilton (1942).
