Resisting the idea at first, Helios finally gave in and Phaethon rode the chariot of the sun.

Minotauros in Greek (Minos' bull) was the fearsome monster of Crete, in Greek mythology, that had the body of a man and the head of a bull. It was the offspring of Pasiphae, the wife of the King of Crete Minos, and a beautiful snow-white bull sent to Minos by the god of sea Poseidon for sacrifice. When Minos refused to sacrifice the bull, the god inspired in Pasiphae an unnatural love for the animal, and the monstrous offspring of this union Minotaur was confined in the Labyrinth (a maze so cleverly and intricately constructed by the artist-inventor Deadalus that once thrown inside, one could never find the way out). To avenge his son's death by the Athenians, Minos demanded that seven Athenian youths and seven maidens should be sent yearly to be devoured by the Minotaur. Resolving to end this shameful practice, Theseus, son of the King of Attica Aegeus, offered himself as one of the sacrificial victims. Minos' daughter Ariadne fell in love with Theseus and gave him a magic sword and a skein of thread. Theseus killed the Minotaur and found his way out of the Labyrinth by following the trail of thread he had laid upon entering. This overwhelming statue is hand-made in Greece of high quality "AAA" white cast marble, stands at 13.4", and weighs 4 pounds. It is a very beautiful and powerful piece of decoration.
