Dittany and the Eternal Prisoner by Dr. Ioannis Neonakis

Some creatures are born evil. Others are created. Beneath the cliffs of ancient Crete lies a labyrinth no man can escape—and within it roams a creature feared across the world. Born from the pride of King Minos and the wrath of the gods, the Minotaur is more than a monster. It is a living consequence. A soul trapped between man and beast, rage and sorrow, punishment and mercy. As fear spreads across Crete, one figure stands against destruction not with violence, but with wisdom: Dittany, the mysterious god of healing, balance, and life. Together with the brilliant inventor Daedalus and the people of Crete, he guides the creation of the Labyrinth—a prison built not only to contain the beast, but to preserve what remains of its humanity. Dark, cinematic, and emotionally powerful, Dittany and the Eternal Prisoner reimagines one of Greek mythology’s greatest legends as an unforgettable story of mercy, consequence, sacrifice, and the fragile line between monster and man.
