The myth is simple enough: a bull-headed monster kept in a labyrinth beneath the palace of King Minos on Crete, fed on human sacrifices until Theseus killed it. This film follows an archaeologist tracing that story back to the Bronze Age palace at Knossos, excavated by Arthur Evans in the early twentieth century and still the leading candidate for the labyrinth's real-world origin. Interviews and site footage lay out the palace's maze-like corridors and storerooms, the frescoes of bull-leaping and bull worship that may have fed the myth, and the broader Minoan civilization that built Crete into a Mediterranean power before it collapsed. The film weighs competing explanations for where the Minotaur story came from: a genuine cult of bull sacrifice, the disorienting scale of the palace itself, or later Greek storytelling layered onto half-remembered ruins. It treats the myth as a puzzle with an archaeological answer somewhere underneath it, using Knossos as the physical evidence to test against the legend.
