Kreetan härkä

Herakles sieppaa Kreetan härän. Yksityiskohta roomalaisesta mosaiikista.

Kreetan härkä oli kreikkalaisessa mytologiassa härkä ja Minotauroksen isä.

Kuningas Minoksen luvattua uhrata Poseidonille seuraavan merestä nousevan eläimen, koska hänellä ei laumoissaan ollut yhtään tarpeeksi kallisarvoista jumalalle uhrattavaksi, Poseidon antoi meren vaahdosta tulla valkoisen, erityisen komean härän. Minos, lumoutuneena eläimen kauneudesta, kätki sen kuitenkin laumaansa ja salasi sen jumalalta uhraten yhden omista eläimistään. Poseidon, raivoissaan tämän petoksesta, langetti Minoksen vaimon Pasifaen päälle sammumattoman rakkauden härkää kohtaan. Rakkauden riivaama Pasifae valmistutti Daidaloksella itselleen puisen lehmän, jonka sisälle piiloutuneena hän antoi härän astua itsensä ja synnytti myöhemmin tälle Minotauroksen.[1] Lisäksi Poseidon iski härkää raivonpuuskalla, jonka jälkeen se aiheutti hävitystä ympäri Kreetaa.[2]

Vaihtoehtoisen version mukaan Kreetan härkä olisi ollut sama kuin Europen Zeukselle kantanut härkä.[2]

Herakleen seitsemäs urotyö

Herakleen seitsemäs urotyö, jonka Eurystheus hänelle antoi tehtäväksi, oli siepata Kreetan villi härkä ja tuoda se Eurystheukselle. Herakles lähti matkaan taistellakseen härkää vastaan. Kreetalla Minos vastasi kieltävästi hänen avunpyyntöönsä, ja käski Herakleen taistella ja siepata härkänsä itse; näin hän tekikin. Tuotuaan sen näytettäväksi Eurystheukselle hän kuitenkin laski eläimen vapaaksi.[2]

Härkä kulki läpi Spartan ja Arkadian päätyen Marathoniin Attikassa, jossa se aiheutti vahinkoa ja tappoi sen asukkaita. Siksi härkä tunnettiin myös nimellä Marathonin härkä. Theseus, jonka Aigeus lähetti myöhemmin härkää vastaan, lopulta vangitsi härän uudelleen ja vei sen mukanaan Ateenaan, jossa Aigeus uhrasi sen Apollonille.[3]
