Episode 7: The Bull As a favor to King Minos of Crete, Eurystheus offered Heracles a new labour: to slay the Cretan Bull, father of the Minotaur. The violent bull had been a scourge to the island of Crete for decades even before he birthed one of Greece's most vicious monsters. Heracles found the bull peacefully grazing and calm in demeanor. It even bowed to him. Heracles recognized that inside the beast was an honourable warrior, just as Heracles. As he approached the bull, it snapped into a madness that seemed all too familiar. Heracles wrestled with maddened bull and took it down to the ground by its horns. As Heracles defeated the bull he found by its side a peacock feather, a symbol of Hera. When Heracles returned to Tiryns, he wished to sacrifice the bull to Hera out of spite. From that moment he knew, Hera was not only plotting against him, she was the very reason for the madness that lead him to murder his family.
