This new, lavishly illustrated edition of The Bull of Minos tells the story of two great archeologists -- Heinrich Scliemann, the inspired amateur, and Sir Arthur Evans, the complete professional -- and of their vital discoveries of Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations.  Their story is told as part of Leonard Cottrell's own travelogue, as he journeys to the sites uncovered by the archeologists and in his exciting reports evokes a stimulating glimpse of the world of the Homeric epics.
