I always thought that the Minotaur was such an underrated aspect of Greek Mythology, and that none of the references to it ever did it justice. The perspective of it being the incarnation of vengeance, of such bitter hatred of its existence due to the sins of another, is such a cool aspect and so well done with this song. Rather than it being a mere monster that roams a maze for no apparent reason, it's instead portrayed as it was in Ancient Greece. A cursed existence born of a mortal man's defiance and greed towards the Gods; Minos demanded of Poseidon blessing and wealth, in return he demanded a sacred white bull to be slaughtered as sacrifice to the God of the Sea. Minos refused, so Poseidon cursed the bull to become feral and violent and cursed Minos's wife to fall in love and lay with the maddened bull. Thus was Asterion born, the result of a God's rage and the seed of madness and cursed/abominable love. Forced to live in a labyrinth created to entrap and torment it, and made to feast on the sons and daughters of other Kings that Minos made as sacrifices so that he would not fall victim to the Minotaur's retribution. Most Greek Myths are pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up in their own ways but the tale of Minos and Asterion is an especially horrific one when you really get into it.
