That is not a happy face.
She kind of looks, not just the facial expression, like she wants to smack the minotaur, Asterion, about.
I have wondered for a long time were they depicted? and now, I get to see it and it’s just amazing. How did the artist think she felt?
What happened in the moments afterwards? Or before? How old is he?
He looks so peaceful, just doo be de dooo, be dooo, kicking my feet, looking out, at us.
Thank you for posting this.
You’d look cross too if you’d been f*cked by a bull then gave birth to a baby with hooves and horns.
