My Greek Myth
is Minotaur.
Here is a
little bit
of the story.
I don't know how
to make this good. If
you got opinions, lemme
know. Anything can be
appreciated. Holla~
-Aye
Greed makes problems. If you put your problems aside, it becomes bigger.
Minos wanted to be the king of Crete. He prayed to Poseidon to send him a sign as a confirm and Minos was suppose to sacrafice the bull that was sent by Poseidon. However, Minos valued the animal too much and did not sacrafice the bull. As punishment, Poseidon made Pasiphae, Minos’s wife, to fall in love with the bull.
With the help of the legendary inventor and craftsman Daedalus, she had an affair with the bull. She then brought forth the birth of a monster, half man and half bull. His is known as Minotaur, or the bull of Minos. King Minos then tried to hide this horrible creature in a vast and convoluted maze - the labyrinth. As the Minotaur lives in the labyrinth, and every nine years, seven maidens and seven young men from Athens were offered to Minotaur as food. Theseus volunteered to go in place of one of the seven youths and defeated the Minotaur and got out of the Labyrinth with the help of princess Ariadne.

try to come up with a concept like how would your story relate to modern day. where do u see greed and over-use of power today. because the point is to see your myth through new eyes, not to just illustrate it.
Andrew, is it only greed? Is it that the human nature is challenge by the duality—human/animal—we very often have to kill that Minotaur in us, but first, we have to recognize it. Human like as a labyrinth.
