Knossos

Genre: Historical Fiction - Ancient Greece
Blurb:
Knossos.
The legendary Labyrinth.
Go back millennia to a time when Knossos was the jewel of Crete, center of commerce and pilgrimage. A Neolithic sea captain is driven to find a new homeland for his people when the neighboring tribes turn against them. Proud, ambitious priests and priestesses rule Crete through its many gods. Daidalos, a wronged architect, builds the Labyrinth after a devastating personal tragedy; his successors, the priest-architects of Daidalos, are charged with expanding and glorifying his master work. A dutiful scribe attends the dead after a natural disaster of world-changing fury. A dynasty of Mycenaean conquerors changes Crete, for good or ill. And a crazed girl's passion and the mysterious bull-man of the Labyrinth will change history.
In these ten stories of Minoan Crete, spanning a period of five thousand years, Knossos is at the heart of it all.
