Can't help but have feelings about how Pasiphae named Asterius/Asterion.
She specifically named him that. I can't sit here and not comprehend the reasoning.
Anyone who knows the myth of Minos before the minotaur. Knows, that Europa was defiled by Zeus in the disguise of a bull. Which created Minos and his siblings. When Zeus tired of her, he abandoned her and their children, and the king of Crete at the time found her. Asterion.
He fell in love with Europa and saw her kids as his own. They never had kids between them. So when he died they became in line for the throne.
Disregarding the fact that he pissed in the pool he was about to step in with the bull thing and the banishment of his siblings, passing through the myth.
Pasiphae had a son by the bull, and knowing her son was an oddity and her husband may try and separate them or kill him. She named him after the one man Minos seemed to care about. The man who stepped up as stepfather to raise him when he had no true father.
As if Pasiphae, a woman in a time where no one listened to women. Was trying her best to protect her child of misfortunate birth. By reminding Minos of his own.
