Take a journey to a land where history and myth are mysteriously intertwined. The peaceful Minoans ruled the sea, controlling trade routes, amassing wealth, and creating a land of abundance, art, and sport centered upon a great palace. This stupendous structure was so intimidating to those who visited it that it gave birth to one of antiquity's strangest legends--a bewildering maze that held deep in its center the human-devouring monster known as the Minotaur.
