A thing that has always fascinated me about the Minotaur myth is that it can be interpreted as the Mycaneans conquering Minoa. It's fascinating how history so gracefully turns into myth.

Perhaps you don't know, since this is very specific, don't feel forced to answer this. While searching some stuff for an essay, i found that apparently there are two different 'King Minos' in the folklore. The myth being told to foreigners usually is the one regarding the human sacrifices to the Minotaur, but they never mention the thing of Minos becoming one of the judges of Hell, or, well, better said, of Hades. Are these two Minos different? The judge and the minotaur one? Are they the same? Or is there even a historical Minos? i can't trust the internet and Wikipedia doesn't list any sources either 🥲
Hello! Yes, he was the same! If you notice, the three judges of the underworld had a background in being kings or very just or doing something profound for humanity. Minos was the one that reigned in Crete and "culturized" the Cretans, and he took advice from Zeus, his father, on how to justly rule his people.
I did some research on that, and then the final clue I saw it the Greek archeologist The Mythologist. I'll link the video below. It's in Greek but... just for verification reasons. I relied heavily on him because he is thorough in his research and generally quite reliable.

He also mentions that in some sources there was a 4th judge, Triptolemos!

So I don't really think that it's a secret that Boston has a significant Minotaur problem. It's a pretty common situation for older American cities on the East Coast- centuries of poorly-documented cowpath-style urban growth providing an ideal nesting ground, widespread electrification and plentiful steam tunnels that compensate for the loss of the temperate Mediterranean climate that they're used to. And all this on top of limited institutional knowledge of proper containment tactics at least up until the Greek diaspora started to really blow up in the 20th century. You only have to fuck up the safety checks on one cargo steamer coming in from the broad area of old Minoa and then basically any import controls you put in after that point are closing the barn door after the bulls are loose. So yeah, no secret, it's an issue.
I do think, though, that we've kind of let the specific narrative surrounding the issue get away from us in the usual fashion, the problem people picture when they hear "Minotaur" isn't anywhere close the to the problem as it exists on the ground. I mean people's minds immediately jump to the 1949 Boylston massacre, but let's be real, even though that was really politically useful for finally getting the exit fares on the T removed, that was still a black-swan event, right? Basically every mayor since, like, Hynes has lived in mortal terror of having to manage a repeat of something like that during the mass media era, let alone the smartphone era. So we've got these Theseus kill-teams with their titanium-composite ropes and souped-up cattle prods and bolt guns, we have these constant "track replacement" stoppages on the orange line, and it's fine. It's fine! There hasn't been a serious Minotaur thing within walking distance of a T stop since, like, 2006, which again you can mostly chalk up to the chaos surrounding the dig.
No, the actual danger zones, the silent killers are the exurbs, like West Roxbury, Roslindale, parts of Hyde Park. Relatively dense foliage, bad sightlines, far enough from the urban center that the response times are bad, foot traffic that's basically nonexistent for big parts of the workweek because everyone's either commuting or hunkered down working from home. And, of course, a steady stream of delivery drivers with no political ties to the area. Which is an important element, right? I mean it's kind of baked into the Minotaur's nature, that they have a very finely tuned instinctual awareness of the politics of their situation. Start snagging homeowners, there might be a ruckus. But Amazon does steady business everywhere, and Minotaurs are smart enough to cover their bases, to wait until after the drivers have dropped off your package or delivered your food. So yeah, watch yourself out there. One eye on the treeline at all times. And if you see an Amazon van left idling, get ready to run faster than the driver could.
