| Horse, Pig, Helmet, Man, Woman Arthur Evans died in July of 1941 at the age of 90. A rather ordinary name disguised an extraordinary life during which the famed archaeologist made many notable discoveries, including the unearthing of the Minoan Palace at Knossos, the site of a famous Greek mythological tale. Legend has it that this huge palace complex which comprised hundreds of rooms linked by a labyrinth of passages, was home to the fearsome Minotaur, the half-man, half-bull who devoured seven young Athenian men and seven maidens every seven years until he was killed by Theseus with the sword of his father, King Aegeus.
