Description

The legend of the haunted old olive tree in Sfentyli, a quiet village in central Crete, once again spread fear among its residents who witnessed a series of unexplained events. Only the twenty-year-old Lambros Alifierakis had the courage to sit in the afternoons at the root of the century-old tree to study his Cretan lyra, defying the rumors about the girl with the horns.
Until the great earthquake at dawn on August 28,1962.
For thirty seconds the earth of Crete shook stubbornly to bring a deeply buried truth to light. A myth that was destined to remain tied up for centuries began to unravel in the dark halls of history as rumors became reality.
How did an ancient figurine end up in the hands of a mute and mentally disabled man?
What is the archaeologist and director of the archaeological museum of Heraklion Yiannis Galanis hiding?
What causes the unexplained phenomena that disturb the lives of the villagers?
What can connect Erotokritos with the Drosulites? Vicenzo Cornaro with a Beethoven sonata and a rogue antiquarian with the Minotaur?
Who defines the line that separates myth from reality?
Amalthea. A novel full of Crete.
