 The contest between Theseus and the Minotaur was frequently represented in Greek art.A Knossian didrachm exhibits on one side the labyrinth, on the other the Minotaur surrounded by a semicircle of small balls, probably intended for stars; one of the monster's names was Asterion ("star").While the ruins of Minos' palace at Knossos were discovered, the labyrinth never was.
