Watch The Minotaur's Island

"The Minotaur's Island" is a documentary about Crete. This island was home to the Minoans, the first civilization to appear in Europe. The Minoans appeared nearly 5,000 years ago -- 2,000 years before Homer's time. Archaeologists have found that they built palaces with flush toilets and hinged doors. The Minoans are best known for the myth of the Minotaur, a monstrous bull-man that preyed on humans. The Minoans' civilization eventually perished and nobody knows why.

The Minotaur's Island is a 2002 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes.
