I'm not saying that sexual abuse isn't terrible, but where do you think Argos got that white bull pelt? I'd hate to think how that felt when it probably happen while alive, just the act of Argos having that pelt shows how badly Asterions abuse got at one point, and that could have been the considered a lesser form of abuse, it could have been much worse
Yeahhhh I noticed that, and it made me quite squeamish to think about...
I can't wait until the game is done and I can just sit down and go through it slowly weighing everything that happens. I know it won't answer all my questions, possibly not even most of them, but I think it will be a helpful process.
Huh, you know I just assumed it had belonged to his bio-father the Cretan Bull. It was, eventually, sacrificed to Athena at Athens by having its throat slit, so it does tie in with the themes of Asterion being used by the gods for political ends, that which should have been Poseidon's going to Athena and her Athens. But then again, why would the cow effigy trample it if it wasn't Asterion's? Though then again again, the valley seems hostile to anyone who isn't the master so that could simply be another misdirection.
