Oooh now I’m going to have to do the Labyrinth soon - it’s one of my favourite stories and there are so many ties to it. Theseus. Ariadne. Icarus. And of course Minos. Basically, Seb, when the Minotaur is born Minos sticks him in the Labyrinth and forces Athens to send virgins every year the sacrifice to the monster. But I promise I’ll tell the whole story soon.

Xena was way “better” than Hercules, at least she kicked some ass.. Hercules was quite the womanizer.

I’m reading Ovid right now and it makes me want to do Odysseus next. Hmmm…

Ooh, yes, I love these stories, and you provide nice commentary. Perseus, too!

That Hercules TV show was pretty hilarious. And Xena as well.

How about that, two mainstays of popular culture from one single event! I had no idea that’s where the Minotaur came from — how did that story lead into the Labyrinth? Or are they unconnected?

The running of the bulls… scary. Seen some video footage of when it goes wrong? Nasty.

I vote for Odysseus…!
