The Minotaur! A Poem, In Three Cantos (1849)

Bag om The Minotaur! A Poem, In Three Cantos (1849)

The Minotaur is a poetic work written in three cantos by Thomas Lewin and published in 1849. The poem is based on the Greek myth of the Minotaur, a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man that lived in the labyrinth of Knossos in Crete. The first canto describes the birth of the Minotaur and the curse placed upon him by the gods. The second canto tells the story of Theseus, the Athenian hero who slays the Minotaur and escapes the labyrinth. The third canto explores the aftermath of the battle and the impact it has on Theseus and the people of Athens. The Minotaur is a classic tale of heroism, myth, and the struggle between man and beast. Lewin's poetic style is lyrical and evocative, capturing the drama and emotion of this timeless story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
