Talos (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In the Cretan tales incorporated into Greek mythology, Talos or Talon was a giant man of bronze who protected Europa in Crete from pirates and invaders by circling the island's shores three times daily while guarding it. According to Brian Sparkes "The most detailed treatment in literature is to be found in the Argonautica... however, we have detailed images of the episode, 150 years earlier, dated to around 400 BC."
