S5 Ep4: Ghosts of Legendary Labyrinths, Part 1
Update: 2023-06-16
Description
What would the ruins of the Palace of Knossos (nah-sohs) look like in the moonlight? An uneven grid of boxlike rooms, interrupted by darker larger forms like a midnight quilt unfolding into the night. A cascade of history—fading into silhouette, shadow and—interpretation.
The Palace of Knossos (nah-sohs) was built on the largest island in Greece: Crete. The island has mountains and gorges, and appears to be a bit of a desert but the water surrounding the island is brilliant phthalo and cerulean blue.
What about the ghosts in the depths of the legendary labyrinth, in the deep dark, below the palace?—The place where Theseus and the Minotaur had their showdown? Where does myth end reality meet? Was there really a labyrinth?
