Summary
"One of the most monstrous myths in history is that of the Minotaur. A huge man with the head and furious temperament of a bull, the Minotaur was hidden in a labyrinth by King Minos. Readers learn the tale of the Minotaur through the story of the Greek hero Theseus, including its terrible end. Illustrations and photographs of historical objects appear in full color to enhance the main content. Written in accessible language, the tale of the Minotaur will engage even reluctant readers -- especially if they’re monster-movie fans!" -- Publisher's website
