Method and Minotaur.

Christianas non nominanda, may be read in the articles on "Minos" and "Minotaur" in Roscher's Lexikon. The article on Homer's stainless Achilles illustrates even more powerfully the horrors with which historic Greece defiled the memories of the heroes of the conquering Achæans; against whom the later Greeks, descendants, mainly, of a conquered population, entertained an undying grudge. It survives in the Troilus and Cressida of Shakespeare.
