The Brazen Bull was a statue used in the execution of someone who has committed treason in the City of Atlantis. The person was placed inside and a pyre would be lit underneath, causing them to slowly cook to death, while a series of pipes caused there screams to resemble a bull roaring. It was a greatly feared and considered a horrible way to die. One such statue was erected outside the Atlantis palace for Ariadne after it was revealed she had aided the intruder that had tried to kill Pasiphae. On the night of her execution, however, Jason successfully ruined the execution, by firing a flamed arrow onto the pyre. It was completely desecrated. (Touched by the Gods Part 2)
