Deep within the twisting stone corridors of the Labyrinth, a creature lurked—a monstrous being born of divine punishment and human folly. The Minotaur, half-man and half-bull, was more than just a myth; he was the cursed son of a queen, the prisoner of a maze designed to hold him forever, and the terror that haunted the people of Athens.

In this episode of The Lorekeeper’s Library, we unravel the dark origins of the Minotaur, from the fateful deception of King Minos to the tragic tale of Queen Pasiphaë. We explore the masterful construction of the Labyrinth by Daedalus, the sorrow of Athens’ tributes, and the deadly encounter between Theseus and the beast itself. But myths are never as simple as good versus evil—because even in victory, there is loss.

Join us as we walk the shadowed halls of history and legend, following the bloodstained thread of one of Greek mythology’s most haunting stories.
