Archaeologists speculate that the deified architect Daedalus was an artisan who participated in restoring the palace centuries later, rather than the man who first created the wonder.

Nevertheless, it may not matter.

A line in the exhibition says: "When myths are no longer confined to the realm of fantasy, they become keys to unlock the treasure chest of history."

For the exhibition, Bo also prepared a surprise by the gallery exit. Thirteen Chinese artifacts from roughly the same period of Minoan civilization, ranging from jade and bronze vessels to painted pottery from the Palace Museum's collection, are on display.
