Knossos. Crete (2012)Oil painting by Simon Kozhin

Without exaggeration, the legendary labyrinth and the ruins of the Knossos palace on the Greek island of Crete, which was inhabited by the Minotaur, which was still familiar to me from the history of art, seemed to me differently. He in my imagination was different from what appeared in reality. Although this place is very attractive for tourists, for me it has become a destruction of the myth.
