LXXIX: Europa & Minos’ Bull Dynasty, the Marathonian Bull Has Seen Some Sh**
Listen now
Description
The mythological history of Minoan Crete's obsession with bulls is dark and wildly, terribly entertaining. Bulls, baby, bulls. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing. Sponsor!
