The Brazen Bull The Inventor's Fatal Mistake

Описание: In 570 BC, a Greek inventor named Perilaus created the most horrifying torture device in history - the Brazen Bull. But when he presented it to the tyrant Phalaris, he became its first victim. This is the true story of ultimate poetic justice, told through the dark pages of ancient history.

🔥 THE STORY OF THE BRAZEN BULL 🔥
Perilaus spent months designing a hollow bronze bull that would roast victims alive while transforming their screams into musical notes through an ingenious acoustic system. He believed this masterpiece would make him wealthy and famous. Instead, the tyrant Phalaris ordered him locked inside his own creation as the first test subject.
Years later, when the people of Akragas overthrew Phalaris in rebellion, they gave the tyrant the same fate - executing him in the very device he had used to terrorize them for years.
