So, what about the ghosts in the depths of the legendary labyrinth, in the deep dark, below the palace?—The place where Theseus and the Minotaur had their showdown? Where does myth end reality meet? Was there really a labyrinth?

The Minotaur has been an easy target over time as a bad guy capable of cannibalism, taken out of context and conveniently used as a symbol of a monster of some really horrendous human behavior as in George Fredrick Watts 1885 painting the Minotaur (oil on canvas at the Tate museum in London England titled: The Minotaur. He is standing maybe by an ocean wall, looking out over the ocean awaiting his victims. Which the artist tied to evil human behaviors.

Can’t we just have a good, old fashioned monster painting? Of course not, it’s gotta be twisted to something even worse. Be the light you want to see in the world George, be the light.
