The Brazen Bull
Hi Slaves are you missing your punishments? I am missing giving them to you. When we meet again I have some good times ahead for you. Stay safe.
The Brazen Bull may have been the worst Toture device in history A particularly nasty torture/execution device.
hollow bull is cast entirely out of brass with a door on the side. After the condemned was placed inside, the door was closed and a fire was set underneath the bull. This caused the bottom of the bull to become "red-hot" and thus burning/roasting the victim.
The head of the bull was designed with a complex system of tubes and stops so that the prisoners screams were converted into sounds like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. Combine the horrors of claustrophobia, suffocation, and burning at the stake and you have the burning bull.
The head of the bull was designed with a system of tubes and stops so that the prisoner's screams were converted into sounds like the bellowing of an infuriated bull. Phalaris is said to have commanded that the bull be designed in such a way that its smoke rose in spicy clouds of incense. According to legend, when the bull was reopened after a body was charred, the victim's scorched bones then "shone like jewels and were made into bracelets.
Stories allege after finishing construction on the execution device, Perillos said to Phalaris: "His screams will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest, most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings." Perillos believed he would receive a reward for his invention. Instead, Phalaris, who was disgusted by these words, ordered its horn sound system to be tested by Perillos himself, tricking him into getting in the bull.
When Perillos entered, he was immediately locked in and the fire was set, so that Phalaris could hear the sound of his screams. Before Perillos could die, Phalaris opened the door and took him away. After freeing him from the bull, Phalaris is then said to have taken Perillos to the top of a hill and thrown him off, killing him. Phalaris himself is claimed to have been killed in the brazen bull when he was overthrown by Telemachus the ancestor of Theron. All good fun in those days .
