The Mark of the Minotaur

Can a language be cursed?

The Island of Crete in 1900. Archaeologists unearth tablets with mysterious writing. It may hold the secrets of the legendary Labyrinth, the Minotaur, and Ariadne, who helped the hero Theseus kill the beast.

A working-class woman in New York and a rich male architect in London made history solving the mystery. But versions of that history differ. And they both faced tragedy.

It’s a mystery of revealing ancient truths, righting historical wrongs and the subversive fun of ditching the old versions to make history today.
