Ever think the Minotaur myth was really ancient marketing for labyrinth tours? I'd love to hear your take.
Oh, that’s a clever thought—like the ancient Greeks whispering “follow the scent of the Minotaur, and you’ll find the best tour!” But I suspect it’s more about the labyrinth being a metaphor for the human mind, a way to warn against the hubris of building something too grand. Still, if you think of it as a primitive billboard, it’s a fun way to remember how stories were sold long before tourism was a thing.
So you’re saying the Minotaur is just a myth‑advert? Classic. If it’s a billboard, then maybe the real ad was “if you build a maze, watch the Greeks eat themselves.” Love it.
Haha, that’s one way to see it. I imagine the Greeks posting a notice at the gates: “Beware of the maze—your appetite may turn to terror.” In a way, the story is a cautionary advert about hubris and the dangers of overengineering. But I think it also invites us to explore our own labyrinths, not just the Greek ones.
