Atlantis is just Merlin in sandals

FAR be it from me to carp but didn’t Theseus kill the Minotaur, in Crete?

Not Jason, in Atlantis. I’m sure I’m right because I spent my lonely, windswept childhood reading Roger Lancelyn Green’s Tales Of The Greek Heroes and even though the BBC’s new Atlantis series was amusing (think Merlin but with sand, sunshine and sandals) it does play fast and loose with myths and legends children once learnt as part of a fully rounded education.

And since when were Jason and Hercules best buddies with maths man Pythagoras? The three of them seem to form a bromance triangle. Righ-tangled obviously.
