Does minotaur have children?
Queen Pasiphae of Crete was the mother of the Minotaur, thus any son or daughter of hers would be the half-sibling of the Minotaur, including: Catreus (King of Crete after Minos) Androgeus (Killed by the Athenians and restored to life by Asclepius) Deucalion (succeeded his older brother Catreus as King of Crete, father of Idomeneus: Odysseus pretends to be his second son Aethon when he speaks to his wife while in disguise.) Glaucus (Polyidus found the boy dead, brought him back to life: Minos forced him to teach Glaucus the art of divination - he did - then was made to forget, later led an army that attacked Italy, introducing to them the military girdle and shield.) Acacallis (loved by Apollo/Hermes). Xenodice Ariadne (loved by Theseus, married Dionysus). Phaedra (loved by Theseus) . Euryale (loved by Poseidon).
What is the size of the largest siege tower?
The largest siege tower ever erected was the Helepolis was an ancient siege engine invented by Polyidus of Thessaly and improved by Demetrius I of Macedon and Epimachus of Athens for the unsuccessful siege of Rhodes, based on an earlier, less massive design used against Salamis (305--304 BC). The Helepolis was essentially a large tapered tower, with each side about 130 feet (41.1 m) high, and 65 feet (20.6 m) wide that was manually pushed into battle. It rested on eight wheels, each 15 feet (4.6 m) high and also had casters, to allow lateral movement as well as direct. The three exposed sides were rendered fireproof with iron plates, and stories divided the interior, connected by two broad flights of stairs, one for ascent and one for descent. The machine weighed 160 tons, and required 3,400 men working in relays to move it, 200 turning a large capstan driving the wheels via a belt, and the rest pushing from behind. The casters permitted lateral movement, so the entire apparatus could be steered towards the desired attack point, while always keeping the siege engines inside aimed at the walls, and the protective body of the machine directly between the city walls and the men pushing behind it. The Helepolis bore a fearsome complement of heavy armaments, with two 180-pound (82 kg) catapults, and one 60-pounder (27 kg) (classified by the weight of the projectiles they threw) on the first floor, three 60-pounders (27 kg) on the second, and two 30-pounders (14 kg) on each of the next five floors. Apertures, shielded by mechanically adjustable shutters, lined with skins stuffed with wool and seaweed to render them fireproof, pierced the forward wall of the tower for firing the missile weapons. On each of the top two floors, soldiers could use two light dart throwers to easily clear the walls of defenders.
