Knossos Greek mythology, King Minos dwelt in a palace at Knossos. He had Daedalus construct a labyrinth, a very large maze (by some connected with the double-bladed axe, or "labrys") in which to retain his son, the Minotaur. Daedalus also built a dancing floor for Queen Ariadne. The name "Knossos" was subsequently adopted by Arthur Evans. As far as is currently known, it was William Stillman, the American consul who published Kalokairinos' discoveries, who, seeing the sign of the double axe on the massive walls partly uncovered by Kalokairinos, first associated the complex with the labyrinth of legend, calling the ruins
Daedalus (band) and Extrema. The works on the second album "The Never Ending Illusion" were completed in 2008. Roland Grapow (Helloween, Masterplan) made the mixing, while Mark Wilkinson (who worked among the others for Marillion, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest) drew the artwork. The album, featuring Roberto Tiranti (Labyrinth) and Alessandro Corvaglia as guests, was published by the Swiss label Galileo Records in January 2009. Good reviews were published about it on several musical magazines ("Metal Hammer", "Rock Hard" and "Metal Maniac") and webzines. On November 7, 2009 Daedalus played live at Z7 in Pratteln (Basel) during the festival organized by Galileo
