Babe The Big Blue Ox
Babe The Big Blue Ox is a staple of American folklore, the constant companion of Paul Bunyan, Babe is every bit as famous as Paul. Various tales of how he got his unnatural coloration have popped over the years, one says it was a specific kind of magic blueberry, while another says he was frozen solid during the winter of the blue snow, others speak of being blessed by the moon, or even being carved out of Mountain Stone. Babe was strong enough to pull a river straight and wrestle Paul hard enough to build mountain ranges and create the Northern Lights, he was so big that The Bald Eagle wasn't Bald until it tried to fly from one end of Babe's horns to the other. Babe is not the only name the Blue Ox has had, as some will claim his name is Benny. Nor is he the only cattle that Paul owned, there was also Lucy the Giant Milking Cow, and his herd of giant oxen that he would ride across the Frozen Pacific to bring Snow and winter to logging camps.

The Minotaur
The story of the Minotaur is one of the most well known tales of Greek Myth. Yet the Minotaur actually has many stories and is not the monster he is presented as but a Horned God. A symbol of Strength and Courage, a Protector of Crete. There are some variations in what kind of god some argue he is a sun god, others a war/earthquake god. But the Minoans held cattle as extremely central to their spirituality. Various tales speak of how the Minotaur came to be: From the classic tale of curses and lust, some where the Minotaur was gifted its human form by the gods for protecting its herd, a story of love and perseverance, one where he is the child of Zeus and a cow, another tale speaks of a beauty and the beast style curse. The drop from god to monster likely sprung from the Greeks habit of taking gods of nearby people and demoting them to monster and having them slain by a Greek hero, such as the story of Medusa. This resulted in the tale of Theseus.-TLK

The Enkomi Horned God Statue
In Enkomi, Cyprus a statue was found around a century ago. It depicted a man wearing a horned (Bull Horns) headdress possibly even a horned god. It was not the only Horned Idol discovered the other was the Ingot God a slightly smaller and more warlike figure. They are both dated to approximately 12th century BCE. This has been used by some to support the concept of the Minotaur as ancient horned god.
