P2. Cruel and Unusual Punishments

Death in a Metal BullĀ Even writing about it is giving me chills. In ancient Greece, people were punished by cooking them inside a giant bull made of bronze.

The convicted person was put locked inside a metal bull and a fire was lit under it. This slowly burnt the person to death. The people passing by used to enjoy this act of brutality and thought of it as some kind of entertainment.
