The Legend of King Minos

The Legend of King Minos tells the story of the famous Minoan ruler through Ancient Greek myths. This book provides a biography of a historical figure, in contrast to mythology books for children that provide unrelated stories leaving the impression that myths are only fairy tales. Included are the better known myths of the Minotaur, Theseus, and Daedalus as well as more obscure tales such as Nisus and Scylla. The book closes with a connection made between the Minoans, the Egyptians, and the Lost Continent of Atlantis. It is intended to entertain and educate young readers.
