MIGRATION - Corna, lies, perjury and three courts



We talked about the bizarre Minos and his amatory conquests and his wife.
Now we will talk of his wartime achievements, and found that even here we find the mix of animal magnetism and ruthlessness in making promises: the characteristics of our Minos, in fact.

Minos was a great leader, when the Athenians killed treacherously Androgeus his son, the king of Crete led a powerful army to get revenge.
First, with his army tried to seize the Isthmus of Corinth, and in particular of Megara. This city reigned Nisus, who was invincible because of a golden hair (some say purple) that grew on his head.
While the siege continued without success, Scylla, the daughter of Nisus, he saw again and again the king of the Cretans, and suppose the victim of his animal magnetism, he fell in love. He managed to combine a secret meeting with the king and on that occasion, promised to Minos that would cut the fairy hair (and fatal) of her father, Minos promised to marry her in return.

And here again the characteristic unreliability of the king because Scilla face what he had promised, he cut the hair that is killing so Nisus and dropping the city in the hands of Crete, but Minos, however, was terrified for patricide (which ? could not horrify the time of the proposal?) and not only refused to honor the promise of marriage, but rather tied to the Scylla bow of his ship, drowning the girl.

Socket Megara, Minos besieged Athens: the gods, do not know why, they were still on the side of this perjury, and sent a plague against city. In order to avoid worse problems
the Athenians were forced to accept the harsh terms of the peace treaty: they would provide each year seven girls and seven boys, who would be conducted in the Labyrinth for the Minotaur to be nurturing ... for our king of Crete, as happened for the rest of the ancient Greeks, revenge could become a source of income, although very hot!

Back home, the life of Minos was marred by a mourning his son, the little Glauco drowned in honey, but Curetes told him not to despair: the child could be raised by the man who would know better than to describe others the color of a certain royal herds of cows that changes color three times a day (other ground beef in particular Cretan ...): it was white in the morning, then became red and finally black, the morning after the cycle began again.
The diviner's son Poliido Cerano, a native of Argos (or currants) succeeded: the cow was like the brunette, who was born white, then turns red and black when ripe.
As a reward, Poliido was locked up with the corpse of a small (perhaps in the Labyrinth), and was ordered not to leave until he had raised Glaucus. Imagine the perplexity of Poliido: I guess so, but rise on the dead, just no! As reflected
saw a snake near the corpse of the child: the soothsayer killed him. Then came a second serpent, seeing the first snake died, moved away, came back with a herb which rubbed his companion, who immediately revived. Poliido took the grass, massaging it with the body of Glaucus, was able to resuscitate the child. Minos
proved once again far from the ideal of fair and honest with the king which made history: he refused to let go Poliido until he taught Glaucus the art of prophecy. A Poliido reluctantly completed the education of the child, but when he finally was allowed to leave, got into the ship that sailed into the mouth and spat Glauco: they lost all power of prophecy.

For once the king perjury had been played. But it was not the last ...


Some small notes ...
mythical ties between Crete and Athens are numerous: recall the myth of Androgeus and sending the victims to the Minotaur, then that of Theseus, the prince and then king of Athens, in love with a daughter of Minos and her husband a second daughter , while that of the bull then became the lover of Pasiphae bull of Marathon, to procreate, who attended the king from his curse sexual, daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens, that of King Nisus of Megara, who was born in Athens, while that of Daedalus , Athens to Crete to escape ... perhaps the only RPGs, the Royal Society Pseudo-Geogaphic could explore this topic with sufficient expertise.

According to a myth, the gods took pity and turned it into Scylla of heron. Nisus was changed into a sea eagle.

The myth of Glaucus would be drowned in the recollection of the custom Cretan honey to mummify the bodies of dead dipping, of course, honey.

According to some versions, Glauco would not have been resurrected thanks to Poliido, but directly by the supreme physician Asclepius, son of Apollo. Asclepius repeated the enterprise with Hippolytus, Theseus' son. Hades, lord of the dead, already tired of losing customers because of the great medical cures, did not tolerate that he be taken away even that which was already his: he complained to Zeus thundered his nephew. Asclepius
But then it would be resurrected as a god of healing.

MIGRATION - Corna, lies, perjury and two courts


We said that all Cretans are liars. Indeed. They said the Cretans themselves.
Among the various stories handed down more or less far-fetched that the other Greeks, we report that tells how Minos, who became king of Crete, in spite of his legendary Justice, refused to fulfill a vow he made, not sacrificed to Poseidon that God sent the bull from the sea to help his nephew to claim the throne.
Strange people these demi-gods: they who are children or descendants, are pretend not to know the touchiness and the implacable vengeance of God's own relatives. Minos perhaps rely on the protection of his father ... In fact, Poseidon
not retaliated directly on the treacherous nephew, preferring to use Pasiphae, the beautiful wife of Minos, the daughter of the Sun

The union between the two had been fruitful: Androgeus, Catreo, II Deucalion, Glaucus, Ariadne, Phaedra and other children were shown how the son of the bull-god bull had to read the force of his father.
Indeed, the king spared his attentions of any woman attractive island. Britomart chose to jump off a cliff just to escape the attentions of the king, while Periboea not lost his passion and the nymphs Paria Dessitea and gave him children.

To pique or jealousy, the lawful wife cursed Minos, and with success: each time the king had a sexual relationship, its members came from snakes and scorpions. We can imagine the satisfaction of the partners ...
Minos was saved thanks to procreate, that in exchange for some magical gifts (a dog that no prey could escape and an unerring javelin) agreed to give him the 'grass of Circe, which healed and the curse. Minos, perjury, perhaps he believed that everyone was like him, then forced Procris back guarantee or your money back ": it was Procris to share a bed with Minos and check (imagine the kind of apprehension) that the remedy was in fact effective.

Meanwhile Pasiphae (imagine) had to resign themselves to abstinence with the legitimate wife. Perhaps the queen was already distracted by other things: the effect of the wrath of Poseidon (though not excluding a vindictive action of Aphrodite), Pasiphae fell in love with the beautiful bull ... Yes, that's bull that the husband did not want to sacrifice.
A burning passion, of course, unquenchable, of course, unsatisfiable (sorry for the invention of language) even if not by the will of the lady. She was also willing, but there was the fact that the bull was well in the herd of Minos, was enjoying his harem and did not want (rightly) know of nothing that was not a cow. So
poor Pasiphae was dying of unrequited love.

But, as in the current era, where science meets nature prevents it. In Crete had taken refuge Daedalus, Athenian genius inventor who had killed his nephew Talos (a student who was already surpassing the master) by throwing it down from the Acropolis.

The inventor, as a good scientist, you do not put scruples of conscience: he wanted to see his genius prevail over a nature that was contrary to the will of man. So devised a hollow structure of wood covered with cowhide, so perfect as to deceive anyone. And the bull fooled: as was his custom when he saw a new cow, fell through, only this time the artificial being was ... and inside was hidden Pasiphae, so that he could see his desires satisfied.

sopresona Surprise, the queen became pregnant. But when the child was born, this was monstrous: he had the human body and the head of a bull!
The Minotaur, in fact.
mythographers I say that Minos was learned mating forbidden, and therefore ruled that the child could only be monstrous son of the bull. But we can not exclude that the king, after he son of a bull, had no doubt that this monstrosity was the fruit of his loins (perhaps as a side effect of snakes and scorpions). The fact is that Minos had already imposed on Daedalus not leave Crete for punishment (or perhaps admiration of his genius and thought to have him at your own service), and now forced to resolve the hot potato: do not kill the baby could (at the bottom was a punishment for perjury of the king, that was certain), but you could not even leave it around ...
So Daedalus conceived the famous Labyrinth of Crete, the house where the Minotaur, Asterion called, waiting for victims Minos would have caused.
But that was another matter, and did not stop the perjury of Minos.


Some small notes ...
It is said that Minos was the inventor of the homosexual relationship: the young Miles, Ganymede, and even the Athenian hero Theseus would have been her lovers.

The strange lover of Pasiphae could not enjoy his menagerie vaccine in peace: Heracles came from the mainland, another bastard Zeus. The hero, on behalf of his cousin Eurystheus, king of Mycenae, was to capture the Cretan bull to make one of his famous labors.
Minos agreed that the brother would capture the bull, Heracles and took him across the continent. Eurystheus then left in the animal freedom. The beast wandered the Peloponnese, Attica and the Isthmus bringing devastation, until his Theseus, "cousin" (it seems that his divine father was Poseidon, even though her father was human Aegean) captured him back to Marathon.

The Minotaur, half man and half bull, ate human flesh. Why half cow is a symbol carnivore is necessarily complex to explain ...

"The House of Asterion" is a story short, wonderful, Jose Luis Borges. Read it, as we invite you to read the entire production of the Argentine master of the fantastic: it's worth it.

Cretans? Were all liars.
We guarantee it Epimenides, who was from Crete, and if he did not know his fellow ... This creates quite a paradox: if Epimenides was telling the truth, at least one Cretan (Epimenides himself) would not be a liar. But if telling the truth, then all Cretans are liars, so he too, when he says that all Cretans are liars, mind ... and so on ad infinitum.

We are interested in this talk just as much? Well, yes. Meanwhile
because the Cretans (lying?) Said that not only Zeus was born in Crete, but there die each year and each year rises. So much so that it showed the grave. Zeus, the immortal father of the immortals, who dies? Mah .. Then why

Zeus was derived from the seed that made it famous Crete. A race that has had the odd ratios (literally, sometimes) with the bulls, with lies and with the courts. And most of the real "non" of the heroic barbarians that were the source. But let
in order.
Herodotus of Halicarnassus (father of history and it seems liar too, although it was not a Cretan) says that the first abduction took place between Greeks and Asians was that involving Europe, the daughter of Agenor. He
we have already named in the genealogy of Danao strange: it would be a descendant of Io, the daughter of the river Inachus (nell'Argolide) coveted by Zeus, and (they say) turned into a cow. Whatever the case, Agenor, greek or not it was a third-generation immigrant, prevailed on the Lebanese coast or so. His daughter
Europe (toh! the eponym of our continent was born in Asia!) Played by the sea when the great grandfather Zeus, apparently not dead, but very vital indeed, saw it and covet. A Zeus liked to amuse
with the beautiful mortal women, whether or not they were his relatives. But he feared the wrath of the legitimate wife, was then transformed loved to enjoy his achievements in disguise.
Instead of changing into wet sparrow, a swan, the husband or the spasm in a shower of gold (i mythographers mostly Cretans are not, then we must give them credit), this time turned a bull, a beautiful bull. This bull
\\ Zeus went lazily on the beach where he played in Europe. The girls who accompanied the princess were frightened, but she did not: the bull seemed so tame ...
Europe find the courage, and began to put garlands on the horns of the bull: he was serene, even squatted. Europe found another little 'courage and curiosity-driven, sat in the back of our bull (honne soit qui mal y pense).
Suddenly the beast got up with Europe and back, and took to the sea: the poor girl clung to the horns to keep from falling, and soon after saw the shore leave. Imagine that Europe could swim, and that Zeus \\ bull was truly indefatigable (again no evil ... for now at least!) because he carried his prey to Crete.
Here the god of the sky resumed his true form, he seduced the girl (we can imagine what state of mind was the young) and her pregnant.

The girl was then marry with Asterion the king of the country and has no children, shotgun wedding, of course, but Zeus came back several times to find his beloved, because, say mythographers Cretans and Crete, the children of this union were three: the famous Minos, the almost equally famous brother Rhadamanthus, and Sarpedon, for a lesser glory.

the death of these three bold Asterion immigrants would come to power, giving rise to the second of the great aristocratic families of Greece: the descendants of blood to a stranger and not just pure greek.

only that there were problems between brothers, Minos and prevailed on others just because they proved to be a sovereign right to a nation of liars.
Challenged to prove his claim to the throne, his uncle cried Minos, Poseidon, brother of Zeus, to send a sign that would confirm his claim: if the god of the waters had not sent a horse (an animal sacred to him), but ' animal family, a bull, would sacrifice undermined him. And suddenly there was a bull from the sea beautiful: the other suitors silent, defeated.

only that the bull was really too good, and maybe remember "dad" to the new king. The fact is that, once won the dispute, Minos did not feel offered in sacrifice as he had promised.
And here is the new king, who would be remembered for the justice of its laws, had the cunning and perjury: reneged on his word, he made a sacrifice alternative (but less expensive) and thought that things would end there.
For his bad luck would end there ...

Some small notes ...
two-euro coins Greek recall the myth of the abduction of Europe.

the disappearance Europa, Agenor was desperate: he ordered his sons to look for the girl and not to return without her. No one found it, and nobody came back, but immigrants became famous, famous eponyms of land. The names of his children were Phoenix (eponym of Phoenicia, more or less the current Lebanon), Cilicia (eponym of Cilicia, the coastal region of Anatolia before Cyprus) and Cadmus, but this is another famous immigrant in Greece, and tells the story.

Defeated by Minos in the dispute for the throne, Sarpedon migrated to Lycia (according to one version of Miletus founded the city). Rhadamanthus was in Crete and was the editor of the law is so good that, after his death, the gods chose their Rhadamanthus as one of the judges of hell.

Why Do My Hands Burn After Shower

MIGRANT - Argo and authoritative definition


A pretender to the throne back from afar. Moreover, with 50 dependent children. And a damn hurry to settle in the city to resist the war-Arrival of 50 grandchildren, sons of his brother. Here is a summary of the story of Danaus and his daughters to date.
The story of a "returning migrants" (although, perhaps, his ancestors were a bit dubious), which, as a good cultural hero, INNOVATION port and new cults in Greece, but the problem has to marry their daughters with local population.
will originate from him so that the Greek nobility came to be descended from, indeed, an immigrant, the authors of mass murder and a group of runners.
But let's see how it was done.

We have said that with the omen of wolves attacking a herd Argive, Dana becomes king of Argos. In gratitude, the Egyptian-founded a sanctuary of Lycian Apollo (Apollo the Wolf), and then wait. Because the new king is sure that the children of Egypt the brother are chasing, and is confident that, as good kinds, once married daughters, kill the father and take the throne. Argo
But not many guarantees in the event of war: there is no water, and everyone can imagine how important this is in a city under siege in the hot Greek summer. It is said that the plan had been cursed by Poseidon, who retired all waters dall'Argolide because the city chose to declare his protecting deity It was rather that the "shaker of the earth." So
Danao sends out his daughters (foreign) to look for what the locals have found no means a source.
While wandering alone Amymone, one of Danaides, was assaulted by a satyr that wanted to use violence, but the cries of the girl appeared to Poseidon himself, who rejected the satyr hurling his trident. The trident missed the shot and stuck in the rock, but the satyr fled.
Now Poseidon raped (or seduced, the confusion about what is happening among young people and the gods anciulle is a must!) Amymone, and then allowed to mine the trident: rock flowed from the source Amymone, which gave rise to the river (and swamp) of Lerna.

And the dreaded day arrived: 50 young people disembarked from a ship, the sons of Egypt. They wanted what they had asked for time before: to marry a Danaide each. In this myth (as well as in many others) the inheritance of the throne seems to go through the female line ...
Perhaps Egypt does not feel sure of his right to the throne, and then wants the union between his sons and daughters of his brother to remove all doubt. Some mischievous author assumed that the intention of the 50 bold young women was to kill (And uncle \\ father in law) after the wedding night.
Danao suspect that, whatever the fate of the daughters, however, he will soon be deleted. So he refuses, and his warlike grandchildren asssediano Argo. Though it
Danaids ingegnino once again, digging wells (including at least four sacred), the city must surrender at the end of thirst, and Dana gave in to the children of Egypt.

So 50 weddings are celebrated, with selection criteria of the spouses rather unusual: sometimes a Danaide was bound to a son of Egypt because their mothers had the same rank, other times because the name of another was similar to that of the future bridegroom: in the most "desperate" it was necessary to fate, with extraction of names from a helmet.
During the wedding feast, however, the diffident \\ provident father gave each child a pin from her hair: a unique wedding gift was intended to hit her husband to death as soon fell asleep after the fatigues of the first night. So
49 Danaids the night and at midnight they obeyed his father killed their husbands. Ipermestra only spared her husband Linceo: he had respected her virginity, and the bride, grateful, asked the board to the goddess (virgin huntress) Artemis. At the suggestion of God, fled to Linceo sixty stadia from the city, at a place called ... Lincei (the name is doubtful whether there was first or after his escape), where, in the absence of cell, lit a torch to signal that the bride had arrived safe and sound.

Danao Ipermestra put on trial for disobedience, but the court acquitted the grounds that marital fidelity prevailed on obedience to the orders of his father. So Linceo could return to Argos, and be recognized as heir to the throne. Athena and Hermes, with the approval of his father Zeus, the daughters purified from crime, with water from the swamp of Lerna.
The heads of the sons of Egypt killed were buried at Lerna, and the bodies to Argos. Egtto When, later, arrived in Greece, after news of the end of children took refuge in Aroe, where he died.

Danao now a good father, had the problem to "fix" the daughters. Banned as a race between the contenders: Who would come first would have the right of first choice among the girls, under the laws of the second choice and so on up to forty-ninth ranked. Only that the contestants were well under 49! And with good reason: the prize was his marriage to noble women, yes, but they were
a) foreign
b) homicidal
c) maybe even crazy and willing to repeat the exploit of the probe with new husbands .. .
So only a few took the risk. But the first night of the (second) wedding went well, without any new or dead. So the father said the race and this time the success was guaranteed: all found Danaids husband.
The descendants of this marriage were called Danai, a name that spread to all the nobility of the heroic age of Hellas, which in many ways even married them.
So the Greeks were able to say good title to the descendants of an immigrant, of runners and a group of murderous!

happy ending, then?
Well, not really. Even if his intentions were not those from the beginning, soon Linceo killed his stepfather. Apparently he wanted to do the same with the cognate but the Argives (imagine we agree with the new husbands Danaids) prohibited it. As for
Danaides, once deceased had different fates: Ipermestra was rewarded for his loyalty to her husband, and the others were sentenced by the Judges of the Dead (the other descendants of immigrants ...) to pick up in eternal hell-water from a river ... riddled with the pitchers as sieves.
Their punishment was, therefore, eternal.

Some small notes ... According to other
mythographers Ipermestra was not only (or Hypermestra) to save her husband but also her sister Amymone. In fact, according to sources, the sentence of only 48 hits Danaids sisters (Ipermestra Amymone and are not condemned by the Judges of the Dead). But we must not forget that
Amymone had a son by Poseidon, and this could be enough to get the exemption penalty. But
sopetta that "Amymone" or "no fault" is just a nickname, and then the Danaide that saved her husband in the end was precisely and only Amymone \\ Ipermestra ... The Argives

celebrating the various rites associated with this story: a Lincei celebrated an annual festival with the lighting of bonfires to remember the various drain Lincei, also celebrated the so-called race Hymen (Hymen, the son of Apollo and a Muse, or Dions and dean of Aphrodite at the wedding) to commemorate the two events that led to the remarriage of Danaids.

It is said that the Danaides imported from Egypt, the Mysteries of Demeter, the Thesmophoria: they were celebrated in Argos until the return of the Dorians. After then these Mysteries survived in Acadia.

Poseidon had been defeated in competition for the "sponsorship" of Argos: he and his sister had fought for this land, but the river Inachus (the ancestor of Danaus second version "Greek" original), and his brothers Asterion Cephisus rivers and preferred the goddess. The god of water and earthquakes did not take it, as we said.

The story of the patronage of Argos was not the only case where Poseidon was defeated: the Attica's preferred Athena, Dionysus went to Naxos, Aegina to Zeus, the Acropolis of Corinth fell to Elio. Poseidon received only the Isthmus of Corinth and Trezene half (the other half fell to Athens ... and the myth of Theseus incorporates this dual protectorate).
Apparently the only land that was obtained without problems Atlantis ... that it is taken with earthquakes and floods result of chance impiety of its inhabitants. Provided that Plato did not invent everything! From

Amymone and Poseidon Nauplius was born the old man, who was a great navigator: it was the first to navigate the Great Bear and founded the port of Nafplion. He was the grandfather of Nauplius (II) was the father of Palamedes and bearer of many misfortunes (especially maritime) to the heroes returning from Troy.

Some of the events preceding the seizure of power Amymone on Argo.

It 'true that the history of Danaids binds to the concept of water missing: coming from the sea, looking for a source and are the source of the river and the swamp of Lerna (whose emblem was the monstrous Hydra), one of them has a relationship with Posedione, god of water, and I was born a Navigator son and founder of the port of Argos, dig wells for eternity are constrained to try to carry the water ...

The story of Danaus and Egypt is part of a succession struggle between siblings or relatives that will be continued and a typical family: they will rival the grandchildren of Lincei (Acrisius and Preto) and will be Heracles and Eurystheus (cousins).

The race for a noble woman (often the king's daughter) in marriage is found in many myths: that of Oenomaus and Pelops, Eurytus and of Heracles, in the race for Atalanta's hand. In the story of Odysseus and Icarus have a variant (the "fuitina" of the spouses), and if we are in this area is also part of the challenge proposed by the suitors to Penelope, with the race of the arc.
Slightly different is the case of Pelias and Admetus, where the groom had to yoke the chariot of the fairs for the wedding.
E 'to remember how, in the case of Oenomaus and Eurytus, these competitions resulted in the death of the old king.
The myth of Danaus is a variant: Linceo not a race but still kills the father.

The killing of the old king seems to be the new king \\ paredro of the woman who was guaranteed the kingship and then two variants: first, the killing is made by his son, the other is the son or grandson. When the killing stems from a rivalry sucoero \\ son, the intent is often stated (see the myth of Pelops) When was the direct relationship, the mythographer "softens" the story and adds an element of inevitability that the killer does not recognizes the killing.
Indeed, often, the future is looking for the future murder victim to reconcile with him. This is what happens in the myth of Perseus and Acrisius (grandson and grandfather), and in that of Odysseus and Telegono (son and father), and of Altemene Catreo (son and father) ... Oedipus kills his father Laius, not knowing who he faced.

Yet another variant is that the myth of Theseus and the Aegean: the son is the indirect cause of his father's death (suicide).

The number of daughters of Danaus (and children of Egypt) is an unconventional Tespiadi 50 are the children of Heracles, the set of 50 sons and daughters of Priam, the Nereids are 50 (but sometimes reaching 100, or 50 +50).
According to Graves (The Greek Myths, 60.3) 50 was the number of the priestesses of the Moon, brought together in college and in charge of making it rain at home with magical rites.

The idea that the children of Egypt intends to marry the daughters of Danaus and then kill his father in law consistent with the logic that sees the king \\ husband of the goddess, an old man, was killed and replaced by the new king \\ new husband of the priestess representing the goddess, so you always have a ruler "vigorous" and so fertile that ensured the fertility of the soil. The fact that Dana
anticipate genres puts him in the lineage of Cain, Cain was not according to some the most evil of Abel, but only faster, and his brother killed before they could do the same with him!

As we mentioned, the root of "migrants" Dana \\ Danaids can be connected to that of the Celtic Goddess Danu, which descended from the Tuatha de Dannan, the people who invaded Ireland divine mythical age. Other immigrants ...
