The Minotaur was a fierce creature with the body of a man and the head and hooves of a bull. King Minos of the island of Crete had a giant maze, called the Labyrinth, built to contain him. Breathtaking designs of popular mythological creatures based on the colorful stories of ancient Greek mythology. This collection has a realism unequal to none; even Pegasus appears to be flying! Newly released in 2008, these sculpts have already become hugely popular in the "collectors" market. Children will enjoy hours of imaginative play and learn about the Greek classics at the same time. Excellent 3-D compliment to any lesson plan or project.
