The Palace on the right was drawn from a photograph of Knossos, Theseus and the Minotaur were re-drawn from a piece of ancient Minoan pottery, the scrollwork border was also recreated from a piece of minoan pottery (Corel path tools, feel my pain :).
The text is an exerpt from Mary Renault's book, The King Must Die. - A wonderful book, written by a woman in 1958, banned on serveral occasions, in several decades.
