Summary
[edit]DescriptionGaziantep Zeugma Museum Daedalus and Icarus mosaic in 2011 1915.jpg |
English: 2nd Century AD mosaic from the House of Poseidon, from a floor that also has a Triumph of Dionysos mosaic. This is not the period of the fall from heaven, but earlier. Pasiphae - Sister of the beautiful and wicked Enchanteress Circe (who once had changed Odysseus comrades into hogs) - had been given as spouse to King of Crete Minos. For some obscure reason - either her or Minos had pissed him off - Poseidon cursed the Queen to fall in lust with a White Bull belonging to the King. The Queen (waiting for the work to be finished on her throne) hired the King's Engineer in Chief Daedalus to assist in her endeavour to be coupled to the Bull. With the help of his son and apprentice Icarus, Daedalos built a hollow wooden cow, wrapped in a bovine skin and endowed with mechanical life. Hiding inside this contraption the Queen was able to copulate with the Bull. From their unusual union she conceived and bore the hybrid bull-headed child Asterion, also called Minotauros by the Greeks. |
