Abstract

Description

Michael C. Spafford is well-known for his use of Greek imagery. In this triptych, he references the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. Theseus was a legendary Greek hero and a king of Athens. In his most well known exploit, he killed the Minotaur, the monstrous bull-headed man, born of Pasiphaë, which was kept in the Labyrinth of King Minos on Crete, and to which Athenian youths and maidens were annually sacrificed.
