Features: According to legend, King Minos had a son who was a monstrous being half-man and half-bull. To protect his subjects from the creature's disturbances, King Minos once ordered the construction of a mysterious labyrinth. Every nine years, the defeated country of Greece had to offer tribute of young men and girls to the monster... In 1900, archaeologist Arthur Evans began his archaeological work on Crete. Shortly after, he firmly believed that he had discovered the legendary palace of King Minos in Knossos, but where was the labyrinth of the bull-headed, man-bodied monster? This book includes three parts: "Recreating Greek Mythology – The Legendary Empire of Minos," "The Legend of Attila – The Huns' Invasion of Europe," and "The Heroes of the North – The Viking Legends."
