There is nothing like a naked man saving a naked woman from a naked bull man! I'm just kidding... This is an awsome picture! Have you ever wondered why greek poeple never have any cloths on? It's kind of degrading for the said hero.

It wasn't degrading at all, really. It was fairly common in their culture. Athletes and warriors typically competed and fought naked (or nearly so) because they were less hindered by clothing and armor.

It would be pretty hard to fight with no armer or cloths on for pertection, but I supose it would hinder movement.

Well, tell that to the Egyptians or the Spartans. They all did very well, militarily speaking.

That would be Minos's daughter... I don't recall her name though.
