"The brazen bull … was an alleged torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece

There’s zero evidence that was ever used tho…

A lot of the “terrible tortures of the past” are bullshit because the people that came next wanted to look civilized compared to the past.

I think for this one, someone found a bronze bull that could fit a person inside and some pipes. It’s way more likely the person in there just played the pipes like horns

Well sure, but if it was real it would be a horrifying way to die. I imagine akin to being burned at the stake in a way.
