	Bull (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From earliest times the bull was lunar in Mesopotamia (its horns representing the crescent moon), though we cannot recreate a specific context for the bull skulls with horns (bucrania) preserved in an 8th millennium BCE sanctuary at Çatalhöyük in eastern Anatolia.
		In Egypt the bull was worshiped as Apis, the embodiment of Ptah and later of Osiris, and a long series of ritually perfect bulls were identified by the god's priests, housed in the temple for their lifetime, then embalmed and encased in a giant sarcophagus.
		The bull is one of the animals associated with the late Hellenistic and Roman syncretic cult of Mithras, in which the killing of the astral bull, the tauroctony, was as central in the cult as the Crucifixion was to contemporary Christians.

	Bull Fights 101
		The bull fight takes place in the afternoon and commences with a bugle, music (pasodobles) and a procession across the ring of the afternoon's "performers" (except for the bulls who are out of sight in individual corrals awaiting their turns).
		The bulls that are lucky enough to be chosen when young calves for a future bull fight are then raised essentially as wild animals roaming with their brothers and cousins over the ranges.
		The bull is to the matador as a violin is to a violinist or a block of stone is to a sculptor.

	BULL.MILETIC \| Heaven Can Wait
		By multiplying and cloning the urban horizon, this installation brings home the impact that the early panoramic theaters had on their spectators.
		Provocatively, Heaven Can Wait works at cross-purposes: undercutting the horizon’s seduction of completeness and coherence while simultaneously making a horizon that demands reckoning rather than mere witnessing.
		The choices made by the artists of this installation point to the often forgotten radical nature of both the panoramic subject and the city skyline; the historical link between a new mobile subjectivity and a new image of the city.

		The Sumerian poem "Gilgamesh and the Bull of Heaven" is still unpublished (1961!).
		Its contents, poorly preserved as they are, may be sketched as follows: After a lacuna of some twenty lines, the poem continues with an address to Gilgamesh by the goddess Inanna (the Sumerian counterpart of the Babylonian Ishtar), in which she describes the gifts and favours she is prepared to shower upon him.
		The end of the poem, which probably described Gilgamesh's victorious struggle with the Bull of the Heaven, is missing altogether.
