Most people know what the Minotaur is: giant half-man half-bull creature, lived in a labyrinth, was eventually killed by Theseus. That’s not the story I want to talk about today, however. No, I want to talk about how the Minotaur came to be in the first place.
Strap in, folks, ‘cause this is gonna be a trip.

Welcome back to Mythology Mondays! Today I shall relate the tale of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, or how beer saved the world.

Well, it’s that time of week again, where I talk about a myth or mythological figure I find interesting, or just plain funny. This week, we’re going to Ancient Greece, where I will tell you the story of Echo and Narcissus.

I like mythology and folklore. I think they’re extremely interesting. So, in that regard, I have decided to embark on a new project: Mythology Mondays. Basically, either every or every other Monday I will make a post about a story or mythological figure that I hope folks will find interesting, or at least entertaining.
(Note: I am fully aware that this is going on the blog proper on a Tuesday, but I’m putting it up on the Patreon on a Monday, so I’m counting it).
To that end, I have decided to start with one of my favorite Norse tales: “The Fortification Of Asgard,” or, as I like to call it, “That One Time Loki Fucked A Horse.”
