An Interview With Suzanne Collins

Abstract

According to the myth, after subduing Athens militarily, King Minos of Crete accepted a peaceful settlement which included a regular tribute by which the Athenians would be reminded of their subjugation to Crete. Because Spartacus was a slave, he was never the direct subject of Roman writers, but his general story can be found in Plutarch's work, The Life of Crassus.
