(W) Serge Le Tendre (A) Frederic Peynet In the heart of the fabled Labyrinth, Theseus, prince of Athens, is at the mercy of the terrifying Minotaur. Far from being a mindless, merciless brute, though, the creature begins to tell his tragic story? Theseus, prince of Athens, awakens injured and bound inside an unknown hut. Facing him stands his captor-a mighty, bull-headed man! There, at the centre of the labyrinth built by engineer Dedalus for the king of Crete, Minos, Theseus is astonished to discover that the bloodthirsty monster that the legends describe is in fact a rational being named Asterios, who begins to recount the story of his life. Between the young Athenian sacrifice and the feared creature, grudging respect emerges.
