2. Minotaur & the Labyrinth
King Minos’ wife had sex with a bull and conceived the Minotaur. King Minos talked his chief engineer into building a maze from which no man could escape. The Minotaur was placed in the labyrinth and seven boys and seven virginal girls from Athens would be sent in as a tribute (shades of Hunger Games!). Theseus of Athens volunteered as one of the sacrificial boys. Luckily Ariadne, one of Minos’ daughters, fell in love with Theseus and gives him a spool of thread and a sword. He attached the thread at the opening of the labyrinth and after killing the Minotaur, follows the thread out to freedom. Theseus goes home and becomes King of Athens.
