In defense of King Minos, when his wife was cursed by the gods to be madly in love with a bull, he was betrayed that Daedalus would help her be with the animal. He did this by creating a mechanical cow she used to breed with the bull and create the Minotaur. Daedalus had not only helped Minos’ wife mate with a bull, but also helped caused the creation of the Minotaur. This is why Daedalus was imprisoned and him and Icarus decided to escape with wings made of wax, wood, and feathers.
To defend Athena, during a contest Arachne had made the goddess look foolish with her expertise in the art of weaving. Feeling foolish, she had turned Arachne into a spider that would weave for all eternity. However, Arachne had it coming with her arrogant attitude and constant mocking of the gods.
To defend Hera, Echo had offended the queen of the gods by keeping her in a conversation which prevented her from seeing about one of her husband’s affairs. This obviously angered the goddess and she cursed echo to repeat what has been said to her. Narcissus(literally where narcissist came from) however is the reason for her to fade into only a voice. He loved himself so much their was no room for the hopelessly in love Echo.
