The dating off Hercules and king minus stretch over a large period of time, there are reasons to believe the name Minos refers to all kings from Crete or that two kings were named
Task eight- The Mares of Diomedes.
This task is told in many versions some description of the man-eating mares include them breathing fire. Some tales have Hercules stealing the mares from the giant Diomedes. As with the tales from Babylon giants were considered earlier humanoids that were given birth as humanity was from the earth. The Babylonians believed these humanoids were larger hairier humans that existed before the gods created them. In evolutionary terms these were humanoids like home erectus, Homo sapiens before the evolution of homo sapient sapiens. The mares were said to have been kept in a bronze manger as they were wild. Diomedes was their leader and represented four peoples ruled by a common king. The fear this ruler might kill Hercules portrays the barbaric fear the Greeks had of him.In some versions the horses were returned to King Eurystheus and were brought to mount Olympus where Zeus refused to sacrifice them, this means that they were also un-assimilatable to the old Olympic gods. In some tales Hercules built a trench to corral the mares and killed Diomedes feeding him to the mares, in all the tales the mares were allowed to roam free within Greece. Thus the peoples the mares represented were allowed to roam free until their tribes were killed or slowly assimilated into Greek culture. In some versions Zeus sent lions, tigers, wolves and other wild beasts that killed the mares. This talked seems to portray a earlier type human that was ruled by a leader and was made up of four peoples who remained more wild and could not be tamed, they were given an area to roam peacefully up till their death or slow assimilation, most likely the race went extinct while a few members joined Greek culture, the wild nature of these people probably had them fall to the ravages of nature.They were however capable of using bronze.
