I used to play it with my sister and then later with a friend of mine. I can remember almost everything about it except what it was called. You played as either a Trojan or Greek hero(Aeneas, Atalanta, Achilles, Odysseus, and some others), and it was a basic game where you moved around the board.
I know there was The Land of the Lotus Eaters and also the Labyrinth where you’d have to battle the Minotaur, but I can’t remember how’d that was done. Anyway, it was a really cool game, and I’d love to have a copy, but I can’t remember the freaking title.

Could it be “By Jove”?
