Actually the protector of Crete was Talus, not Talos. And he wasn't a minotaur...he was a bronze giant.

Talos was the nephew of Daedalus, who showed even more talent for invention than his uncle. Before he was ten he'd invented the saw, the compass and one or two others I don't recall. Daedalus killed him out of jealousy. In some versions of the myth he ended up at the Minoan court because he was fleeing punishment for this crime; in others he doesn't kill Talos until after Icarus is dead.

Daedalus did make the labyrinth of course, and the Minotaur
was kept there. I gotta wonder if PC's Talos' arch-nemesis was
named Daedalus.

....hmmm

Is there any direct reference to the Minotaur in game?

Well, there's a HUGE statue in Talos... And the badge found there is called "Minotaur" too.

And this might mean that the higher-level toon who just ran past you is in fact not powerlevelling his worthless buddies or hunting "your" Winter Lords; he may in fact be doing a mission in your zone for completely legitimate reasons. I've had 10th level characters with missions in Atlas Park and Galaxy City, and I've had a 15th with so many missions in King's Row that it made my head explode. Some folks on Triumph may remember the "jesus god could I get some missions that aren't in King's FREAKING Row" broadcasts the day I finally lost it.

I just finished a Devouring Earth mish in KR at level 30 and then the next was in PP

I had indigo (in FF) send me to the middle of boomtown. Twice in a row. I'm not sure, but that might be about as bad as you can get outside the shard. But of course, nothing beats getting that mission on the far side of the hollows pre-14.

FF to Boomtown? Not quite as bad as FF to the far side of Crey's Folly...still not fun though.
