Subject: Narrator IdentityTo: <jmb184@frontiernet.net>

Hi John,

Was examining your Maze site (lots of fun, great job!), and wanted to
comment on the narrator's identity.  Ian Finley brings up a fairly clean
solution, that the narrator is the Minotaur, then dismisses it for the
following reasons:

"If you think of all the deceptions practiced in my family, particularly
on my father..."

and later...

    "Though one of my parents might be low-born, the other was close to a
king..."

which Ian actually says rules out the Minotaur(!)

However, I found the following which suggests Ian was dead-on:

(from http://www.minotaur-websites.com/minomyth.htm)
"Minos had boasted that the gods would grant him any wish; he made all the
preparations for a sacrifice to Poseidon, then prayed that a bull would
emerge from the sea. Miraculously, a beautiful white bull swam ashore. Minos
admired it so much that he decided to keep it, and sacrificed a different
one from his herd instead.

This unwise decision annoyed Poseidon, who avenged the insult by causing
queen Pasiphaë to fall madly in love with the white bull. Her request to
Daedalus was that he should help her consummate this passion. He did so by
building an ingenious hollow wooden cow, covered with hide and with a door
on top through which she could lower herself inside. Together, they wheeled
it into the pasture where the bull was kept; Daedalus helped her get in, and
then discreetly withdrew. Pasiphaë was completely satisfied, but to
everyone's horror, she then bore the Minotaur, a creature with a man's body
but a bull's head."

So the Minotaur's father, a low-born bull was deceived by his mother, a
queen.  This works with many of the other narrator clues you have compiled.

Curious to hear your opinion.

Sincerely,
Kevin Lin
