According to him, King Minos wasn't just some judge in the Underworld. No, he was once the most feared ruler in Crete—a man who thought himself closer to a god than a king.
"Built the Labyrinth. Imprisoned the Minotaur. Made deals with gods like he could outsmart them," Victor said, almost impressed. "Spoiler: he couldn't."
"And his wife?" Victor scoffed. "Pasiphae. Daughter of the sun god Helios. A sorceress. Some say she was cursed. Others say she cursed herself. Either way, she gave birth to a monster."
