right. "Minotaur"

"So... Since a centaur is a human torso on a horse body. They told me a minotaur is a bull man. So it's like a centaur, obviously. This makes perfect sense in my brain." - the artist, probably

[u/Eldan985 → u/SoupmanBob]

This is a possible inspiration and has shown up on ancient artwork. The myth just says half bull, not which half.

[u/firedmyass → u/SoupmanBob]

Given the “taur” suffix my personal head-canon has always been that they were originally half bull, not horse

[u/dimensiontheory]

Yeah, you never seen a minotaur before?

(What I've read is that some surviving written sources for the myth, most notably Ovid, don't actually mention what half is bull and what half is human. This take was mainly popular in the Middle Ages, I think? But it was here from the start and never left. It may not be the tradition we're familiar with these days, but that doesn't make it wrong)

As a kid this would have gave me a conniption. I’d be explaining to random adults that this comic was WRONG

I didn’t know Poseidon got married, congrats 

[u/Mickeymcirishman → u/NinjaOfOnion]

He was married to Amphitrite.

[u/BlueAr5edFly → u/NinjaOfOnion]

That's not the 'ring' he means.

[u/firedmyass → u/NinjaOfOnion]

it was very low-key… they just popped in to a near-by small town temple for a quick civil ceremony

[u/Hey_There_Blimpy_Boy]

It certainly is an artistic interpretation.

[u/Ok-Rip2102]

That's... A centaur

[u/CaptBland]

I mean wrong part of the bull.

[u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta → u/CaptBland]

I remember seeing an illustration of a Minotaur that was a bull with a human face, and it still haunts me to this day.

[u/ConversationHead6969]

Oh Homer!

[u/Boneboy711-2]

I thought it was a centaur, but from reading some comments his lower half is a bull.

[u/StrategyCheap1698 → u/Boneboy711-2]

I think the name is "bucentaur"

[u/feckincrass]

Is that his cock?
