" Also @vewatkin BULL = B ( 13 ) / ULL = OWL "

" @vewatkin Kind of like the Owl's head within the portrait of William Shakespeare, right? "

" No wikipedia necessary! She was referring to urban legends of hidden bull images in this very book. "

" Or was it more about the Bubo blakistoni? "

" @Aria Is the bull's head that you mentioned, in reference to the Bubo virginianus? "

" Well, it's at least possible there's an owl there. "

" You have a similar opinion about a bull's head... "

" I have heard talk of this owl but have only seen it look unambiguously like an owl in doctored images. "

" @vewatkin I don't mean to brag, but I do very much appreciate everyone's feedback, in all of this. Thank you, once again. Could the Minotaur also be the Mediator betwixt Man and God? "

" He's the Minotaur, it turns out! There are several clues to this in the book, and Manson seems to have confirmed his identity in some way. "
