Guardian T-Shirt | Talos with a Radar Eye

In Greek myth, Talos was a giant man of bronze who guarded the island of Crete. Many versions say Hephaestus, the smith of the gods, made him and gave him to King Minos. Three times a day Talos strode around the island's coast, and when strange ships approached he hurled boulders at them. Life ran through his body in a single vein, sealed with a bronze nail. He was finally brought down when the Argonauts arrived and the sorceress Medea found his one weakness.

This illustration shows the bronze guardian on a cliff at night, seen from behind, watching the dark sea. From his eye a green radar beam sweeps the water, sending rings across the surface. Often called the first robot in Western storytelling, Talos now watches the coast the modern way.
