Prometheus

-
This is the second story on my Greek mythology posts. This is about Prometheus the Titan. Before humanity, the gods won a battle against these giants called Titans.

She called the god of love, Eros, to shoot Psyche with one of his arrows so she will fall in love with a monster. While Psyche slept, Eros flew down to Earth to shoot her with the arrow.

The king’s wife, Pasiphae, was cursed by Poseidon to fall in love with the king’s bull. Under the spell she asked Daedalus, to help her. Daedalus made a hollow wooden cow, so realistic to fool the bull. While Pasiphae hiding in the cow, she gave birth to the half-bull half-human Minotaur. Of course, the king was enraged and as punishment, Daedalus was forced to make an inescapable labyrinth, for the Minotaur. When it was completed, the king imprisoned Daedalus and his son Icarus on the top of the tallest tower, where they will stay for the rest of their lives. While Daedalus watched the birds, he found out how they would escape. He and Icarus would fly out of the tower.   Using the feathers that fell from the flock into the tower, and the wax from candles, he made two pairs of giant win...
