“Are you ready to enter the meanders of an enormous labyrinth from which it is impossible to escape, face a monster that is half man and half bull, and fly high above the Greek islands using the strange wings made by a brilliant inventor? Then close your eyes and let yourself be transported to Crete, in an era lost in time, where our adventure takes place.”
Ovid (43 BC – 18 AC) was a Latin poet (his name was Publius Ovidius Naso) who narrates the amazing transformations of gods and mortals in his poem The Metamorphoses. In this volume, the adventure of the labyrinth of the Minotaur is presented in a simplified manner, with the story of Theseus and Ariadne and the reckless flight of Daedalus and Icarus.
