Reimagining the Greek myth of the notorious half man, half beast, this book tells the tale of Asterion the Minotaur, recorded by the famous Roman poet, Ovid. “Where shall I start?” asked the Minotaur. Ovid made an expansive gesture with both hands, “Where else but the beginning of course.” The Minotaur nodded his huge head, his eyes already glazing over with the weight of a thousand year old memories.

So begins the story of Asterion as he describes his boyhood in Crete under the cruel hand of his stepfather Minos, adventures with his friend, Theseus, a growing love for the beautiful Phaedra, and what really happened in the labyrinth.

I tend to make lists of things to do & then 'lose' the
list.

I start my days off by waking up with a list of things to
do, a cup of juice or coffee (depending on how motivated
I am for the day) and a book. If I haven't started
reading the book from the beginning yet then I'll
actually get things done. If I'm already "into" the book
then forget it. Nothing get's done. It's always "Let me
finish one more chapter" for me. Then I'm mad at myself
come Sunday night when I realize that nothing was done.
Oh well, there's always next weekend, right? Thanks for
this post. Very funny and realistic. ;)
