From the publisher:

The essays included in The Labyrinth by the Sea were written in the early 1970s, but the manuscript submitted to the publisher in 1973 was never published because the communist leadership of Poland blacklisted Herbert as a banned author. The book was first published after the author's death in 2000. Herbert focused on European antiquity, the traces of which can be seen throughout the continent. His fascination with Greece and Rome was born during his Latin lessons at the gymnasium, so the poet saw with his own eyes the Palace of Knossos and the Acropolis, the groves of Olympia and the estate of the Delphic soothsayer, the Etruscan monuments of Carveria, Tarquinia, Volterra and Veii, the Roman Forum and Hadrian's Wall in the distant homeland of the Britons and Saxons. Pericles and Evans, Freud and Lviv Latin teacher Grzegorz Jaslikowski speak to us from the pages of the book.
