Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / el minotauro
Spanish term or phrase: Tauromaquias sagradas
El culto del toro y de la doble hacha (cuyo nombre era labrys, que luego pudo dar "laberinto") era típico de las religiones prehelénicas, que celebraban Tauromaquias sagradas. Formas humanas con cabeza de toro figuraron, a juzgar por las pinturas murales, en la demonología cretense. Probablemente, la fábula griega del Minotauro es una tardía y torpe versión de mitos antiquísimos, la sombra de otros sueños aún más horribles.

muchas gracias :d!!!!!!
