I have tried hard to revive the myths of Minoan times, so that the reader, especially children of twelve years and over, can relive them as intensely as possible. The reader will also enter the gate of the great palace, approach King Minos art and architecture, take part in their festivals and applaud their artistry.
Many elements of life in those days have been left out, but surely some of the glory of the oldest civilization in Europe, our Minoan civilization, will stay with the reader forever. This civilization is reflected in the various undying myths that have survived for 3,500 years.
