Looking further in to labyrinths (how have I never done that before now?) they also appear to involve themes of introspection and rebirth, both of which would be appropriate to associate with Dionysus to some degree. Perhaps the 'Lady of the Labyrinth' was a Deity of deep introspection, religious euphoria, or some other altered mental state similar to the drunken state associated with Dionysus. But y'know, involving the labyrinth somehow. Coupled with Dionysus' own muddled biography that could somewhat explain how a plot that would typically be the focal point of a Greek myth (god falls for person, for real this time, person becomes immortal) is instead almost awkwardly stapled on to the end of one.

There's a hilarious side-story to Dionysus and Ariadne's love story. So in-between Dionysus seeing Ariadne on that island and them getting together, a local nymph named Psalacantha approached Dionysus and offered to be his wingman in wooing Ariadne in exchange for sexual favors. Shockingly, Dionysus -- the GREEK GOD OF HEDONISM -- refused this offer. Psalacantha, bitter at being rejected, went and told Ariadne "Hey, don't talk to that drunk god or go anywhere with him, stay away from him" out of spite, so in retaliation Dionysus turned her into a new plant named after herself. Fortunately, Ariadne didn't listen to Psalacantha.

Headcanon: I read that Dionysus "dies" during the winter and is "reborn" in the spring to symbolize how grapes wither in winter and then bloom in spring. I also read a theory that Dionysus and Hestia "trade off" the 12th Olympian seat, with Dionysus sitting in it during spring/summer and Hestia during fall/winter. Add to that the fact that one of the versions of Dionysus is the son of Persephone, as well as the fact that Dionysus also has oracular powers, and here's my idea: Whenever Persephone leaves to go back to the Underworld, Dionysus goes with her, and he throws lavish parties there for her and Hades. Ariadne would also go along, being the wife of Dionysus. So I imagine a scene of Hades, Persephone, Dionysus and Ariadne all hanging out, talking, laughing, eating, drinking, making merry and whatnot, when all of a sudden, Dionysus' oracular powers kick in, and he's able to warn Hades and Persephone of Theseus and Pirithous coming to kidnap Persephone. So when Thes and Piri arrive, Hades has a trap in store for them... and after the two men are stuck on the rock, Ariadne "reunites" with her old flame Theseus... and promptly points at him and laughs her head off. Later on, when Dionysus and Ariadne come back to the Underworld, they hear about how Heracles rescued Theseus. At first, Ariadne is disappointed that Theseus' suffering has ended... only to get yet another laugh when she finds out Theseus' butt was left behind on the rock. XD

In the oldest versions of the myth, Medusa actually had wings, apparently gold wings, as well as bronze claws and faces and wild boar fangs, a rare thing. It is as said at the beginning of the video, the Greeks (and most civilizations) to create monsters simply mixed animals at random.

In some stories it’s stated that Ariadne would only help Theseus if he promised to marry her when they arrived back to his kingdom. Theseus doesn’t want to marry Ariadne but still wants to get help, so he agrees and then when they get to the island he sees this as a perfect opportunity to abandon her. Wow.

Even if that was true, it wasn’t in the original version. And there was nothing stopping him from refusing to marry her once they got back to his kingdom, considering she had no more power once she left her own kingdom… aaand you shouldn’t teach people that deserting a girl to likely die on an unpopulated island is a reasonable response to them wanting to marry you, with you having all the power to reject them normally.

Fun fact: It may seem weird that the child of a herbivore and an omnivore is exclusively a carnivore, when its head is very much the herbivore, but in reality cows are opportunistic carnivores. This means they mostly eat plants, but if the opportunity presents itself, they will eat a living creature. This is commonly seen on farms when a baby chick wonders in the cow field and gets gobbled up. Presumably, the Minotaur's "unique" birth cause a mutation that made plants unappetizing to its pallet, so it only at people. Or it total did eat plants, but being locked in a laberyth didn't give it much opportunity to eat anything except what Minos gave him.

Strangely enough, exactly how much and which parts of the Minotaur are bull / human can vary greatly depending on the source. The widely held belief today that the Minotaur had the head of a bull and the rest of it was human wasn't nearly so widely held back then so it is totally possible that his appearance was quite different in the original.

I love the detail with the boat having a black sail, since in some tellings Theseus told his father that if he died, the ships would have black sails, and if he lives they would be white. It’s said he was in such a rush or just didn’t remember to switch the sails, so in total sorrow, his father throws himself off a cliff

There is a mycenaean goddess named Mistress of the Labyrinth. Nothing is known about her. That's about as much as I know. I have some short stories about Mycenaean gods and how they're forgotten, but they're mostly baseless and not the best if you're actually trying to learn, since the source material is nonexistent.

If you have ever problems with orientation or coordination after "worshipping" Dionysus, you pray to his counterpart/wife Ariadne to find your way. Maybe the Kretes had a party game in which you gor drunk and then had to find your way while having your eyes covered or being locked in a dark basement/ tunnel system. Dionysus probably fell in love with her after she helped him getting home after he had a blast. And she fell for him because... oh well he is the god of parties, wouldn't you?

My dad used tell me this story when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite stories, but the version my dad told didn't have the bull fucking, instead poseidon transformed his son into half bull with magic. He also changed the end to be more happy, the king secretly wanted his son to die, but he didn't have the courage to kill or let him starve, so when Theseu killed him the king was sad that his son died, but knew it was the better that way.

I wonder if the part where Theseus leaves Ariadne behind is because of the animosity between the two societies? Like, in the original Greek, it was all but expected that he would ditch her because she was Cretan, so much so that it wasn't expressly stated in the writing. Several centuries of separation later, we read it and don't get the context. Of course, that makes it harder to explain ol' Dio coming to get her and literally taking her to heaven. Maybe a way to show the mercy of the gods, even when man won't forgive each other? Doesn't really seem like an ancient Greek message. Honestly I sometimes think whoever took down these Theseus myths pulled a Virgil and purposely showed him being the shittiest creature alive while telling us he's the best in as empty a way as possible.

Lovecraft was growing up around the time these discoveries were made. He might have heard of them.

5:26 in case you're wondering, he kidnapped an Amazon and had a son with her. After she died, he kidnapped Ariadne's sister, who was so much younger than Theseus that she ended up cheating on him with his son Edit: she wanted to do that, but the son rejected her and she killed herself. Her suicide note told Theseus that his son had fallen in love with her and that she had killed herself since that would have been better than cheating. Poseidon, who owned Theseus a favor, sent a sea monster to kill the son.

The Cretan Hunger Games sounds like a cool concept. Some versions of the myth gave an explanation that Minos' son Androgeos was murdered in Athens after he won all the games, and this led Minos to declare war on Athens. To spare lives, the Athenians had to agree to sacrifice the 7 most handsome Athenian youths and the 7 most beautiful Athenian girls.

Not really. This is pretty much like a slightly more secular version of Shinto. Like, pretty much every animist religion has a pretty permeable barrier as to what constitutes a person. There's a wide spectrum between animal as we understand them and actual humans that's mostly filled in with shapeshifting gods and trickster entities. Animals as a symbol and link to primal forces in the place of a parent is pretty basic heroic characterization literally everywhere. The unfortunate implications only really kick in when you try to reconcile the understanding that humans are fundamentally distinct from other animals with the way their use as symbols can be distinctly opposed to that division. Greek mythology is kind of right on the edge of that sort of religion though, which is why the animals are distinctly animals so much of the time, when a more mystically significant actor would probably have been present in the earlier versions. The more they removed themselves from direct nature worship, the more the myths based in those psychologically primal images became remote to their understanding of themselves, the more animals became literally animals instead of something more like how pretty much any tribe, anywhere, ever, has treated them as symbols for pretty much everything.
