My boyfriend came up with this idea, after I told him about a ‘I LOVE NERDS’ t-shirt I saw, which I would’ve gotten myself if it said geeks instead of nerds. To us it’s funny, because he is a Greek and a geek and I do love him lots.. * VBS *

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur had the body of a man and the head and tail of a bull. Before Minos became king he asked the Greek god Poseidon for a sign, to assure him that he, and not his brother, was to receive the throne. Poseidon agreed to send a white bull as a sign on the condition Minos sacrificed the bull to the god in return. Indeed, a bull of unmatched beauty came out of the sea. After seeing it King Minos found it so beautiful that he instead sacrificed another bull hoping that Poseidon would not notice. Poseidon was enraged when he realized what had been done and caused Minos’s wife, Pasiphaë, to be overcome with a fit of madness in which she conceived a passion for the bull. She tried to seduce the bull without success before requesting the help of Daedalus who constructed a hollow wooden cow covered with cowhide for Pasiphaë to hide in and allow the bull to mount her. As a result of this union Pasiphaë gave birth to the Minotaur. Pasiphaë nursed the Minotaur in his infancy, but he grew and became ferocious. Minos, after getting advice from the Oracle at Delphi, had Daedalus construct a gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur. The Minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus.

In Greek mythology the Harpies were winged death-spirits, part bird, part woman. The Harpies were sisters of Iris, daughters of Typhon and Echidna. Phineas, a king of Thrace, had the gift of prophesy. Zeus, angry that Phineas revealed too much, punished him by putting him on an island with a buffet of food which he could never eat. The Harpies always arrived and stole the food out of his hands right before he could satisfy his hunger, and befouled the remains. This continued until the arrival of Jason and the Argonauts. The Boreads, sons of Boreas, the North Wind, who also could fly, succeeded in driving the Harpies and killing one of them, as a request from Iris, who promised that Phineas would not be bothered by the Harpies again, and “the dogs of great Zeus” returned to their “cave in Minoan Crete”. Thankful for their help, Phineas told the Argonauts how to pass the Symplegades.

In Greek mythology, the Gorgon was a vicious female monster with sharp fangs and hair of living, venomous snakes. Seeing the face of a Gorgon turns the viewer to stone. Hesiod makes the number of Gorgons three—Stheno (the mighty), Euryale (the far-springer) and Medusa (the queen), and makes them the daughters of the sea-god Phorcys and of Keto. Their home is on the farthest side of the western ocean; according to later authorities, in Libya. The Attic tradition, reproduced in Euripides regarded the Gorgon as a monster, produced by Gaia to aid her sons the Titans against the gods and slain by Athena. Of the three Gorgons, only Medusa is mortal. According to Ovid, Medusa alone had serpents in her hair, and this was due to Athena cursing her. Medusa had copulated with Poseidon, who was aroused by the golden color of Medusa’s hair, in a temple of Athena. Athena therefore changed the enticing golden locks into serpents. Aeschylus says that the three Gorgons had only one tooth and one eye among them, which they had to swap among themselves.
