Zusammenfassung
Blending historical fact and classical myth, the author transports the reader 3,000 years into the past, to a pivotal point in history: the final days before the ancient kingdom of Minoan Crete is to be conquered and supplanted by the emerging city-state of Athens.

"(Kazantzakis) paints a dream-like tapestry of the Cretan magnificence, power, and cruelty against which Athenian prince Theseus, with aid from Cretan Princess Ariadne, must fight for freedom". -- Publishers Weekly

Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957), world-renowned Greek literary figure and nine-time Nobel Prize in Literature nominee, wrote masterpieces including Zorba the Greek and The Last Temptation of Christ. His novels, philosophical works, and monumental 33,333-line epic retelling of Homer's Odyssey have captivated audiences worldwide and topped US bestseller lists.
