Myths of Crete

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

There are many myths and tales around Crete in the mythology, the stories written in the ancient Greece by the Greek artists. People that take the time to look through the Cretan history and the Cretan mythology find it really interesting. A story that everybody likes is the one of the king Minos, or Minoas (names after the Minoan tribe and the Minoan times). King Minoas was believed that possessed a great treasure in his palace and that an imaginary creature called the Minotaurus guarded the treasure. That creature had half the body of a man and half the body of a bull and inhabited the labyrinth of the palace, killing anyone who entered it. It is very exciting to read about the way that young Theseus managed to enter and kill the legendary creature, then made it out of the maze with help from the king’s daughter, princess Ariadne.

More stories like this one are written down in the books of Greek Mythology, so if you liked it find similar stories in websites like Wikipedia. Even better, you could visit some of Crete’s magnificent museums! If you plan on visiting the island, check out the car fleet of Car Hire Crete and you will definitely find a vehicle to suit your transportation needs on Crete.
