The cities of Troy and Knossos are the stuff of legend. One, the
city of Homer's "Iliad", of Paris, Hector and Helen; the other home
to a king who built a labyrinth in which to hide his monstrous son.
This is the story of two of the most heroic, and controversial,
figures in archaeology: Heinrich Schliemann, who discovered the
remains of Troy, and Arthur Evans who unearthed the great city of
King Minos. Ranking alongside Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's
tomb, the discoveries at Troy and Knossos enabled a new
understanding of Prehistoric Greece, the very dawn of
civilisation.They also proved that what until then had only been
myths and daydreams were actually real. The Cretans did indeed
worship the cult of the bull. Achilles and Agamemnon really did
live. Replete with drama and adventure, "The Bull of Minos" tells
of the 3,000-year old civilisations that were brought back to life,
of the extraordinary men who toiled in their dusty ruins and of the
magic and mystery of life in a world of gods and warriors.
