Abstract

The article provides information about the Ashmolean Museum's exhibition titled "Labyrinth: Knossos, Myth and Reality," which focuses on the archaeological site of Knossos in Crete. The exhibition explores the excavations conducted by Sir Arthur Evans and connects them with Cretan myths, including the myth of the Minotaur. It also discusses the historical significance of the bull's head fresco and the use of myths in understanding the palace and its cultural context.
