See the story of Theseus and the Minotaur in a whole new light.
Minos thought he could
Pull a fast one
On me Poseidon!
God of the Sea!
But I'm the last one
On whom you
Should try such a thing.
The nerve of that guy.
The balls.
The audacity.
I AM THE OCEAN!
I got capacity!
Depths! Darkness! Delphic power!
So his sweet little plan
Went big-time sour
And his wife had a son
Born with horns and a muzzle
Who ended up
In an underground puzzle.
What is it with you mortals?
You just can't seem to learn:
If you play with fire babies
You're gonna get burned.
Much like Lin-Manuel Miranda did in Hamilton the New York Times best-selling author David Elliott turns a classic on its head in form and approach updating the timeless story of Theseus and the Minotaur for a new generation. A rough rowdy and darkly comedic young adult retelling in verse Bull will have readers reevaluating one of mythology's most infamous monsters.
