I am assuming that this is Pluto and Cerberus (maybe we just can't see the third head? Or maybe the sad two-headed version of Cerberus found on The Clash of the Titans? And yes, that is sand he's working with. Or how about this one:
O.K., I see Icarus (and those of you familiar with this blog know that I like the Icarus story), and I see the minotaur. What I can't tell is the event that is going on in the corner. I assume that it has to do with Daedalus in some shape, form, or fashion, but for the life of me I can't place it?
How about you? Anyone got any ideas on what is the myth in the corner? I'll give an electronic no-prize to the person who comes up with the best possibility.

Daedalus built the Labyrinth in which the Minotaur is contained.
Right, I got that. He built the wings for Icarus and himself - thus the fallen Icarus in the upper left corner, he built the maze for the minotaur - thus the maze at the bottom. What I can't quite put together is the picture in the upper right corner. How does that fit?
hmmm ... maybe it ISN'T Daedalus ... maybe that's Zeus striking down Phaeton? I mean, that SORT of looks like a thunderbolt ... and it's SORT of a parallel story
Perhaps it is Theseus holding the skein of thread he used to navigate the labyrinth?
