Very cool!
Those Cretans and their frighteningly silly bull cults and building practices. When I visited Basque country in Spain many years back, the bullfighting there reminded me of Crete and this legend.
Marvelous commentary. Using reason to overcome our animal instincts, & inflamed emotionalism ,

saying such a simple thing.
Thats the beauty of having a Classics community online - I think that feeling is something we all have experienced!
