Some hints and inspiration on Greek

Mythology…

"Ye coasts, pray tell my loving father that Europa has left her native land, seated upon a bull, my ravisher, my sailor, and as I think, my bed-fellow.“

[Europa. Nonnos, Dionysiaca 1.130]

"Love resistless in fight,all yield at a glance of thine eye,Love who pillowed all night on a maiden's cheek dost lie...Over the upland folds thou roam'st, and the trackless seaLove the gods captive holds. Shall mortals not yield to thee?“

[Sophocles, Antigone 781]]

"Whoever judges not Eros to be a mighty god is either stupid or, having no experience of good things, knows not of the god who is the mightiest power to men."

[Euripides, quoted by Athenaeus, 13.600]

Hercules was ordered by eurystheus to kill the Lernaean Hydra, offspring of Typhon and Echidna, a monster with nine heads, one of them being immortal. He chopped all heads and the immortal one he buried putting a heavy rock on it.

"Since you cannot be my bride, you shall at least be my tree. My hair, my lyre, my quiver shall always be entwined with you, O laurel."

[Apollo, Ovid, Metamorphoses 1.556]

"Who on earth could blame the Trojan and Achaean men-at-arms for suffering so long for such a woman's sake? Indeed, she is the very image of an immortal goddess.“

[Antenor and the Trojan Elders chatting among themselves. Homer, The Iliad 3.155]

Mortal Medusa was a GORGONS. The GORGONS were snake-haired, and had great tusks like swine's, and brazen hands, and golden wings, and they turned to stone those who beheld them.

Perseus beheaded MEDUSA, and later founded the city of MYCENAE, where he became king.

The Minotaur

was a

bull-headed man,

whom King MINOS

shut up in the

Labyrinth

constructed

by DAEDALUS

in CRETE.

The Athenians

were then

forced by MINOS

to send

every year

seven young men

And

seven young women

to be fodder

of this famous beast.

THESEUS KILLED

THE MINOTAUR.

Daedalus told his son, when he took to flight, neither to fly high, lest the glue should melt in the sun and the wings should drop off, nor to fly near the sea, lest the pinions should be detached by the damp. But Icarus , disregarding his father's instructions, soared ever higher, till, the glue melting, he fell into the sea and perished.The Icarian Sea, where he fell, was named after him and it is said that HERCULES, who passed by, gave him burial.
