The Minotaur's myth!

One thing that fascinating me a lot are the Greek mythology, because when I was a child I only read books about the Gods and Demigods, the story about hero that fight against creatures just to amaze me.Today I'm going to talk about one of that myth, that's it "Teseo and the Minotaur", now why I choose this myth is because I liked of course, but also I read a really short history about the other side of this history, I mean the Minotaur's story

Obviously this isn't a Greek myth because it was written by Jose Luis Borges in his work "El Aleph" (1949), but is amazing how he invest the story and convert the Minotaur to the principal character, but in the same time Teseo is the redeemer of his life, Teseo kill him but is't the antagonist is just his liberator.

This Story is called "La casa de Asterión" in English "The House of Asterion", and, how I said before is the story about The Minotaur Asterion and is related like a monologue. Is the same Minotaur who talk about his personality, his life and house, also he talk about some young people who enter in his house and just die there (with this is prove his innocence). But he knows that someone one day is going to his house to set him free.

This person is Teseo, we already know the story about the wool and how Teseo cross the labyrinth, After that Teseo confront the Minotaur, who scarcely defended himself, that's because he knows that was his time to die.

Is a Really good Story, you can see it Here in Spanish (original) or Here in the English version.

Also You can read the Greek myth "Teseo y el Minotauro" in this Link (Spanish)

Good bye!
