In Conversation with
Sharon Eberhardt
1900. The Island of Crete. Archaeologists unearth tablets with mysterious writing. Does it hold the secrets of the legendary Labyrinth, the Minotaur, and Ariadne, who helped the hero Theseus kill the beast?
A working-class woman in New York and a rich male architect in London made history solving the mystery. But versions of that history differ. How much can a woman do? Will she get credit? Does she even want it?
It’s a mystery about deciphering ancient languages and messed-up mythology and whether the past has anything to teach us anyway?
