The legend of Minos maze

The ancient legends of Crete were introduced to Greece very early, and these myths formed the basis of Greek myths, almost all of which revolved around the Minoan king. Minos was the son of Zeus and Europa. When Europa, exiled and persecuted by Hera, came to Crete, the king of the island, Astray Oss, married Europa and adopted her son. Since then, Minos has become the king of Crete. Minos is famous for his wisdom and justice. After his death, he became a judge of the underworld. Minos asked Poseidon's support in order to compete with his brother for the throne. Poseidon lifted a white cow from the sea and announced that he had accepted Minos' request. At the same time, Poseidon also ordered Minos to sacrifice the bull he got to prove Minos' reverence for Poseidon. But Minos' greed made him go against God's will. This white cow is very rare. He keeps it in his corral and then uses an ordinary cow to perfuse Poseidon. After Minos married the appeaser, Poseidon was angered by Minos' rude behavior, which made the appeaser fall in love with the bull with magical power. This kind of love is so crazy that the queen disguises herself as a cow and attracts bulls to have sex to satisfy her burning lust. Soon, Patch gave birth to MINO Taulos, a monster with a cow's head. This half-man, half-cow monster eats nothing but human flesh. Minos put him in a maze designed and built by the famous Athenian architect Daedalus. Daedalus was jealous in Athens and killed his nephew, who was also an architect. Therefore, he went to Crete to seek asylum from Minos. In order to repay Minos' help, Daedalus earnestly completed the work entrusted by the king.

The Athenians killed one of Minos' sons. For revenge, Minos turned to his father Zeus for help. Zeus brought plague to Athens. In order to stop the epidemic of plague, Athens had to send seven pairs of boys and girls to worship the monster MINO Taulos every year.

During the third tribute in Athens, Prince theseus volunteered to enter the palace as a victim, waiting for an opportunity to kill the monster. When the brave prince left the palace, he told his father that if he won, the ship would hang a white sail when returning, otherwise, black sails and theseus went to Minos Palace, and Princess Ariadne fell in love with him at first sight. The princess gave him a ball of thread and a magic sword, told him to tie the thread at the entrance, and then put it into the maze. Theseus found MINO Taulos in the depths of the maze, and after a desperate struggle, he finally killed MINO Taulos. Theseus returned to Athens with Princess Ariadne, who loved him deeply, and left her on an island on the way. Because of his treachery, he was punished-the joy of victory went to his head, and he forgot to replace black sails on board. As a result, his father, who stood by the sea and looked at him from afar, thought his son was dead and threw himself into the sea sadly.

This maze structure is extremely complex and unique, with many entrances and exits and tortuous paths. In modern English, the word maze not only criticizes the unevenness of buildings, but also criticizes the intricacies of things.
