Torture, the word alone would bring terror in the mind of many people; however, its brutal existence cannot be ignored. The worst part is the amount of creative zeal the medieval man presented to design the torture devices which are meant only to inflict unexplainable pain.

Ancient Greece is a pioneer in a lot of things and unfortunately they were not lagging behind in having the torture designs. A brass bull with a hollow abdomen was used for this technique. The victim was forced into the hollow place and the metal bull was set on fire. The temperature inside the chamber would increase to such a point that the victim would suffer horrendously and the body starts to melt due to the extreme temperatures. The screams would reverberate within the chamber and sounds would resemble that of a bull
