The amount of time a resources it would take to make all of the different Ranks of warriors has well has the city in general is cool. The idea he was Fasinated, with immortality and this was his way of achieving it was cool.

The light blue contrast with the dark red on it making a nice image. Knossos in general seems to use a lot of red in its colors.
