What the creator captured
National Geographic explores the intersection of Greek mythology and archaeology by investigating whether the Palace of Knossos inspired the legend of the Minotaur's labyrinth. The team highlights how modern excavations at Sissi are untangling 1,400 years of history to separate archaeological facts from the imaginative reconstructions of early explorers like Arthur Evans.
