Mighty Knossos


Oh mighty Knossos, so majestic
Proud over the hills you stood
King Priam's holy temple
The Minotaur's infernal prison
Your complexity still bewilders
The curious mind that now researches
Twisting winding passageways
Deftly beautifully painted walls
Who were those who once stood in your halls
Double bladed axes, bull horns and pithos jars
Of paintings of dolphins,fishes and octopi
Of Bull leaping and beautiful bare breasted ladies
Snake Goddesses, and winding passages
Oh Knossos long buried then found
