<p>See the story of <i>Theseus and the Minotaur</i> in a whole new light. </p><p>Minos thought he could <br>Pull a fast one <br>On me Poseidon! <br>God of the Sea! <br>But I'm the last one <br>On whom you <br>Should try such a thing. <br>The nerve of that guy. <br>The balls. <br>The audacity. <br>I AM THE OCEAN! <br>I got capacity! <br>Depths! Darkness! Delphic power! <br>So his sweet little plan <br>Went big-time sour <br>And his wife had a son <br>Born with horns and a muzzle <br>Who ended up <br>In an underground puzzle. <br>What is it with you mortals? <br>You just can't seem to learn: <br>If you play with fire babies <br>You're gonna get burned. </p><p>Much like Lin-Manuel Miranda did in <i>Hamilton</i> the <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author David Elliott turns a classic on its head in form and approach updating the timeless story of <i>Theseus and the Minotaur</i> for a new generation. A rough rowdy and darkly comedic young adult retelling in verse Bull will have readers reevaluating one of mythology's most infamous monsters.</p>
