The Minotaur and the King Minos

The minotaur includes who twice was glutted with athenian blood. A king doesn't really suffer shame like you or i. His awfulness is common knowledge. He can tear apart your faith in the ordered structure of cosmos, of society, of law or order. And so it's kind of hard to understand exactly what it means that dedalus, like the great craftsman, builds this maze. The other things we know of dedalus for creating are, for example, the wings that he uses, ultimately, to escape the realm of king minos and icarus.
