Some myths have meanings. False memories of a real event. And at least as I see it, the meaning behind Theseus and the Minotaur is nothing less than the conquest and destruction of one of earth's oldest civilizations. It's an echo, being repeated over a thousand years later in the stories of the victors. But long ago, the Minotaur was real. And I think you'll find that in reality, Theseus was not just his murderer, but also his son.
