Minos leads war on Scylla's village.
Scylla wanted King Minos's love. Love for an enemy, she had. Minos stood there in all his glory and Scylla became crazy with love, lust and desire. Scylla could decide whether to welcome or mourn the war Minos brought. She becomes insane to win Minos's love by offering him anything of value in her world.
Her gift to Minos would be to end this war and win his hand. Her father's purple tuft is dear beyond any other values, so she plan to steal it from her father. After obtaining the fatal tuft, she offers it to Minos and let him know that she preformed this act out of love.
Minos rejects this offering in disgust and asks the god to bannish her from he world of land or sea. Scylla pleads why? All else from family to village have shunned her. Scylla lashes out with word to get back at Minos. Now with grief for what she has done, she asks to be punished by death for her crime.
Wondering why Minos should claim right to punish her, when her action were to benefit him. (then I am lost).....Minos leaves on his ship. Scylla flees after him along side the ship stern. Her father see her and turns himself into an osprey, swooping down upon Scylla and turning her into a bird called Ciris. Minos returned to crete and turned over the 100 bulls to Jove. Minos shame of his family grew (lost again - not understanding who is ashamed of whom or who turns one into the labyrinth)
Daedalus designs this labyrinth, a maze of endless paths. Minos jailed the minotaur (biform bull-man) into the labyrinth. (where, when and whom was this minotaur born from?)
Minotaur killed by Theseus and Ariadne. Ariadne use thread to lead Minos out of the labyrinth.
Minus not really greatfull, leave Ariadne by the shore where Bacchus sees and admires her. His admiration leads her to the skys - now a costellatin.
Daedalus is weary and wants to return to crete. His artisty of wings and the admiraton of his son, Icarus leads to an ill fated path. Upon creation of both sets of wings,
Daedalus guides and teaches his son how to fly. Upon leading the way, the boy is in awe of his surroundings and flies to high, allowing the sun to scorch his wing, melting the wax. Icarus falls to his death, now an island called Icaria. While giving his son to the earth,
Daedalus notices a partridge mocking him. Not knowing this is the son of his sister, knowing his crime, he throws down the bird. Minerva who favored characters like the partridge returned him to his previous form, but the bird will never fly to high nor too low. The hedgerrows is where the eggs are laid. His name now Perdix.
