Roaming the Library: "Minotaur" by Joseph Alexander Macgillivray

The book I have selected is called "Minotaur" by Joseph Alexander Macgillivray.

**"A veil of mystery hangs over the whole...nothing but the Potent is certain; and fearful as I am of giving publicity to ill-omened words, I cannot refrain from breathing a suspicion that this unhallowed bellowing may proceed from some hideous Minotaur, caverned in his labyrinthine den." -Charles Kingsley.

The reason I have picked out this book is because it is about Greek mythology and a major person who is well known for acient greek architecture and excavation, Sir Arthur Evan. He was well known for recovering King Minos' palace. I took a class back in highschool about this topic and I found it very interesting. The minotaur was included and so therefore the subject topic jumped out at me.

There is only one author and he is Joseph Macgillivray. The title is Minotaur and it was published in the year of 2000. The publisher of the book is Hill and Wang and this book was printed and distributed in the United States. The exact city of publication is New York, New York.
