For this Episode we go deep into the culture, life, and religious practices of the Bronze Age Minoans building the context of the civilization and their relationship with the Mycenean Greeks at the time. We discuss their art, architecture, history, relationship to bulls, naval and military technology before drawing interesting perspectives of what it might have felt like to be a mainland Greek trading on their first trip to the island of Crete picking up some goods.

Then we go into detail on the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur before reviewing the Warhammer 40K connection of Ollanius Pius as both an Argonaut and prince of Athens (Theseus) and explore what the text and lore of the Warhammer 40K popular fiction universe tells us about Ollanius' experience. We then draw some conclusions about just how absolutely horrible Daedalus is based on the context of Warhammer 40K and what we know about Deadalus from Theseus and the Minotaur and other Greek Myths.
