The construction of the labyrinth was led by the Athenian named Daedalus. When Theseus killed him, the king ordered the building to be cleaned up and converted into a palace, where he and his successors lived. For this purpose, a magnificent building, a labyrinth with countless rooms, was constructed from which the Minotaur could not escape. The king feared that the monster would harm his subjects, so he decided to lock it up in a safe place. This ugly son grew into a fearsome monster called the Minotaur. His wife, Pasiphae, gave birth to a child who had the shape of half-bull and half-human. However, there was no happiness in his household. He had a great fleet and was a true ruler of the seas. He was a wise king who extended his power without conquests, only through skillful relations with other countries, from which he gained profits through extensive trade. After his death, the gods appointed him as a judge in the underworld due to his great righteousness. Towards the end of his life, he moved to Boeotia where he married Alcmene, the mother of Hercules, and the widow of Amphitryon. He ruled wisely and justly, and the people under his rule remembered him with gratitude for leading them out of barbarism towards civilization. Rhadamanthus sailed away with several ships and founded his own kingdom on the islands of the Aegean Archipelago. After her death, the sons became kings of the island, but they couldn't agree with each other, so they separated. Zeus abducted Europa, disguised as a bull, and took her to Crete where she gave birth to two sons: Minos and Rhadamanthus. If you don't know it, read on and remember its moral forever. This is an old and hopeless story that teaches us the importance of listening to our parents.
