The Pride of Crete - Bull Leaper

Excavations in at the Palace of Knosses in Crete suggest the existence of ritual bull leaping. Acrobats, both male and female, vault over bulls displaying their skills and honoring the gods. Depictions of the sport can be found on frescoes, vases and statues.

Also I read Mary Renault's The King must Die and The Bull from the Sea and I am obsessed.

Pov: you hyper-fixated too hard and involuntarily learnt that your favourite prehistoric civilization had a knack for ritualistic cannibalism (and children sacrifice)
