Reminds me of the origins of the Minotaur. This time with wings. And they really expect people to honor a goat headed man, a product of beastiality?

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Minotaur

Minotaur, in Greek mythology, a fabulous monster of Crete that had the body of a man and the head of a bull. It was the offspring of Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, and a snow-white bull sent to Minos by the god Poseidon for sacrifice. Minos, instead of sacrificing it, kept it alive; Poseidon as a punishment made Pasiphae fall in love with it. Her child by the bull was shut up in the Labyrinth created for Minos by Daedalus.

The real question is, is there any truth to the origin of such beasts? As ridiculous as it sounds there is a possible link to these stories and ancient texts telling of such cross breedings. We are unable to do such because of chromosome inequality and lack of technology. But the Books of Enoch, Giants and Jasher claims this was the real reason for the Flood of Noah. The gene pool was being tainted. Fallen angels left their first domain and changed their bodies somehow to mate with humans. The progeny were the Nephalim. They didn’t stop there though and began experiments on different species of animals. Were there Minotaurs or was Pegasus real? Who knows. Maybe this was the knowledge that was to be sealed up unto the end of time. I’ve stayed away from the Apocrypha until recently and have no belief either away on it.
