Get to know the myth of Talos, a robot powered by ichor and created by Hephaestus to defend the island kingdom of Crete from intruders.
—
Hephaestus, god of technology, was hard at work on his most ingenious invention yet. He was creating a new defense system for King Minos, who wanted fewer intruders on his island kingdom of Crete. But mortal guards and ordinary weapons wouldn’t suffice, so the visionary god devised an indomitable new defender. Adrienna Mayor dives into the myth of Talos: the first robot.

Was it a robot, or a moving statue?

It's immoral to worship a man. And it's also illegal. A faithful Imperial citizen would know that. Perhaps there's something you wish to confess?
Talos Was The Guardian Of The Isles Of Crete Aka The Birthplace Of Zeus King of The Gods, Thunder and Lightning and He Was Created By Hephaestus God Of Fire, Blacksmith and His Roman Name or Counterpart Was Vulcan.

After we discovered the Antikythera Device… Ancient robots suddenly aren't so farfetched!
If I had a nickel for every Greek myth involving a fatal weak point at the heal of an otherwise indestructible warrior, I would have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.
