<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1626097, member: 26302&quot;]I would agree with Bill&#039;s answer. In antiquity the story was well known, but only associated with Knossos, so they really only appear on those issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>One may wonder why, when there are so many Herakles coins, and coins showing Gods, why so few with the minotaur and labyrinth? Its because Herakles traveled the world, so many places could claim attachment to him, and he became a demigod so people could pray to him. The other Gods were everywhere, so they also could be portrayed on any coin. The labyrinth, though, was very specific to only one site, and that city was never large during age of coinages, and basically got smaller as time went.</p><p><br /></p><p>Extremely cool coins, and the highlight of anyone&#039;s ancient collection if you are lucky enough to own one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
