WAIT! WAIT!! | Dark - 1X06 - Reaction/Review 

Martha plays Ariadne in the school play, i think it might be good to know the story of Ariadne and Theseus from Greek mythology: Minos, son of Zeus and Europa, living on the island of Crete, asked his uncle Poseidon (God of the sea) to grant him a miracle in order to become king of Crete, because the succession to the throne was in question. He promised that if Poseidon made it clear that he was to become king, he would sacrifice any animal that appears from the ocean for Poseidon. Poseidon, flattered by this idea, made a magnificient white bull emerge from the waves, a true miracle to witness, thus enabling Minos to become the king of Crete. However, Minos liked the bull so much that he sacrificed a lesser bull from his herd for Poseidon, keeping the white bull. Poseidon, upon noticing this deceit, became grim and angry, and cursed Minos' wife Pasiphaë with an irresistible urge to mate with the bull. So Pasiphaë had the inventor Daedalus construct a wooden cow with a cowhide covering, for her to hide inside and offer herself to the bull. Out of this act, she gave birth to the Minotaur (Minos-taurus): A being with features of both a man and a bull, that grew into a man-eating monster over time. Minos wanted to have the Minotaur killed, for its existance alone was proof of his wife's misconduct. But his daughter Ariadne asked Minos to let the Minotaur live. Minos agreed, but had Daedalus create a labyrinth and banished the Minotaur there. Minos later got word that one of his sons had died in a fight with the white bull, supposedly because King Aegeus of Athens told the son that he should test his battle skills against the bull. Minos, on a campaign of vengeance because of this, defeated the Athenians, and imposed a gruesome tribute on them: Every nine years, seven youths and maidens were to be sent into the labyrinth and devoured by the Minotaur, in order to prevent further doom for Athens. Before the third sacrifice was supposed to happen, Theseus, son of King Aegeus, volunteered to end the cruel practice. Theseus sailed with the other youths and maidens from Athens to Crete, with a black sail on their ship, on a mission to kill the Minotaur living in the labyrinth. Theseus promised his father Aegeus to hoist a white sail upon his return, which would signal a successful mission. Arriving on Crete, they had to surrender their weapons. But he met Minos' daughter Ariadne, and they fell madly in love. She gave him a sword and a ball of red thread, to tie one end to the entrance of the labyrinth, so he could find his way out again. After killing the Minotaur with Ariadne's sword, he indeed found his way out of the labyrinth by following Ariadne's thread. Mission sucessful, him and Ariadne left Crete together, heading back towards Athens, but first making a stop on the island of Naxos. Now there are different accounts. Fact is, Theseus left Ariadne there and sailed on without her. But - either due to distress about his lost love, due to still being overjoyed about his killing of the Minotaur, or due to wrath of the Gods for abandoning Ariadne - he forgot to hoist the white sail on his ship. His father Aegeus, waiting at Cape Sounion for his return, saw the black sail from atop the cliff, and thought that his son had not survived. Out of sorrow, he plunged himself into the sea, which was henceforth known as the Aegean Sea. In the play, Martha takes off her white gown, underneath is a black dress. The whole play is full of symbolism.

Reactionando - New videos every week!* *New Dark reactions every year tho. 😅

Welcome back. I am still excited to see your reactions to this awesome show

so glad to see Dark reactions back :)

Good to see you back. It almost seems like you two traveled straight foward for a year while the rest of us had to take the long way round.

I know it's an old reaction but I'm literally in awe how long you guys discussed who could've taken the letter when the simplest solution is that Ines, Michael's father, just found the body. She's family people, why would you not assume the grandma couldn't have been around the family house? Jfc LOL

😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤗

To the chick: you are VERY noisy for someone who's supposed to love the soundtrack. :D

Are y’all going to react to Euphoria season 2?
