Minotaur by Phillip W. Simpson

“Where shall I start?” asked Minotaur.
Ovid made an expansive gesture with both hands. “Where else
but the beginning of course.”
Minotaur nodded his huge head. “Yes,” he said. “Yes,” his
eyes already glazing over with the weight of thousand year old memories. And
then he began.
So begins the story of Asterion, later known as Minotaur,
the supposed half bull creature of Greek legend. Recorded by the famous Roman
poet, Ovid, Asterion tells of his boyhood in Crete under the cruel hand of his
stepfather Minos, his adventures with his friend, Theseus, and his growing love
for the beautiful Phaedra.And of course what really happened in the labyrinth.
This is the true story of the Minotaur.
