Ouranos gets castrated and penis thrown away, comes aphrodite. Tessub (sky god) brings civilization by taming wild idea. Minoan culture (c. 2,000 to 1470 bc) Knossos and its palace (famous minoan places in greek myths) Bull ritual of the palace of knossos (art) thought about it back then. Linear b doesn"t say what it is. Buxton: myths are dayless and the labyrinth, the minotaur and ___ People think it is a ritual but maybe not, we don"t know what they really. Complete structure looks kinda like a maze. So it"s a related to minoan minotaur myth. These gods were mentioned in here, interpreted. Names could be from that time frame. But we don"t know if the myths are from there. Perhaps led to greek myths as greeks speculate who the mycenaeans are.
