  • The Minotaur: The Monster a Family Keeps Hidden

    The Minotaur: The Monster a Family Keeps Hidden
    4 Oct 2026
    The Minotaur is usually remembered as a terrifying creature trapped inside an impossible maze, but the original Greek myth is also a disturbing story about family secrets. Born from an act King Minos desperately wanted concealed, the Minotaur became something the royal family could neither accept nor destroy. So they hid him beneath the palace, constructing the Labyrinth to keep both the monster and the truth out of sight. Psychologically, the story captures something remarkably modern: families sometimes organize themselves around secrets, shame, and subjects no one is permitted to discuss. In this episode, we explore how the Minotaur became one of mythology’s most powerful symbols of what happens when a family tries to imprison its darkest truth.
