The classic mythological beast of Greek lore, whom resides in the shadows. An allussion to the beast within the darkest recesses of us all that must be searched out, confronted, and slain. This guy actually just looks like he could use a break…. / Really it was part of my intention in this work to present the sort of monster that is melancholy; a darker beast of dimmer depths than it is often given credit for. / Original was done in watercolor and gouache media, on Arches cold-press 180lb. cotton rag.

Third artwork in my new series called “Myths and Monsters” which explores the topic of therianthropes (or animal/human hybrids) in various myths from around the world. In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature that was part man and part bull. Generally he is depicted with the head of a bull and the body of a man, but other depictions show him with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a bull (similar to a centaur). The Minotaur lived in the center of the Labyrinth on the Greek island of Crete, which was an elaborate maze built for King Minos and designed to hold the Minotaur. According to legend (and Wikipedia): “After he ascended the throne of Crete, King Minos struggled with his brothers for the right to rule. Minos prayed to Poseidon to send him a snow-white bull, as a sign of approval. He was to sacrifice the bull in honor of Poseidon but decided to keep it instead because of its beauty. To punish Minos, Poseidon caused PasiphaĆ«, Minos’ wife, to fall madly in love with the bull from the sea, the Cretan Bull.[5] She had Daedalus, the famous architect, make a wooden cow for her. PasiphaĆ« climbed into the decoy in order to copulate with the white bull. The offspring of their coupling was a monster called the Minotaur. PasiphaĆ« nursed him 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. Its location was near Minos’ palace in Knossos.” The Minotaur represents the male / masculine principle, animal instinct, rage, anger and the spirit of animus. He represents the id in humans.

One of my many photos taken from the ruins of the minoan palace on Knossos – Creta. I was lucky enough to get a shot when there was no tourists close by. (The entrance among the pillars is a crusial travelspot for the tour) The place was HUGE, no wonder the myth about the cretan labyrinth originated from it!
