Minotaur Revisited

Legend states that the Minotaur was confined to the Labyrinth, slain by Theseus and then laid to rest by thousands of years of Greek mythology. But, the truth is far different. Read the Minotaur's own words as he recounts his full life as god, king, warrior, matchmaker, midwife, monk, sage, father, mother, husband and, most of all, witness. The fierce Minotaur lived to see and be a part of the best and worst of humanity during a life spanning thousands of years. Part bull, part human, the Minotaur struggled to find his place in this world and, in the end, left his unique mark on history. "Minotaur Revisited" is a fascinating book and a delight to read. The premise is that Theseus lied when he said he killed the Minotaur in ancient Crete and that the Minotaur, half man/half bull that he was, continued to live for thousands of years traveling around the Western World, participating in or observing a variety of events-some historical, some purely fictional. The author has written a story that is at once funny, sad, tragic and very learned without shoving the learning in your face. -Terri Tumlin Readers Favorites
