to the palace of Minos, the great king
to whom ZeaS himself taught laws.
The business that brought Thesus to
Crete was to meet the dreaded and
hated Minotaur, to whom Minos had
annually thrown twenty of the youths
of Athens in revenge for some old
murder done by Aegeus, King of
Athens This Minotaur had the body
of a man, but his head was the head
of a bull and his teeth were the teeth
of a lion, and with them he tore his
prey" The Minotaur lived in the laby
rinth and in the words of Charles
Kingsley. who loved the old Greek
fairy tales, 'Theseus went down into
the doleful gulf through winding
paths among the rocks. under caverns.
and arches and galleries and over
heaps of fallen stones. and he turned
on the left hand and on the right hand
and went up and down till his head
was dizzy"
Minos had a daughter, Ariadne. She
was beautiful. as all kings daughters
must be. And just like girls today.
her heart was in the right place and
she could fall in love at sight. And
she loved Theseus.
She came at night, notwithsta nding
in which Minos' guards had locked
young Theseus up. She had learned
that he was to be fed to the Minotaur
in the labyrinth. She pleaded with
the youth. saying. according to report,

Flee. you and all your friends, and go
back in peace to Greece and take me,
take me with you. for / dare not stay
after you are gone, My father will
kill me miserably if he knows what T
have done"
But Theseus could not be dissuaded
from his desire to have a run-in with
the Minotaur He insisted on mixing
it up with the monster. So Ariadne
gave Theseus sword. and a little
bundle of thread, called clue OF
thread" which he was to unwind as
he went into and along the labyrinth,
and by following backward along this
clue he could find his way out OF
the labyrinth.
Brave and mighty Theseus made
quick work in dispatohing the Mino-
taur and by the aid of the "clueS
he found his way out of the labyrinth,
With his loved and loving Ariadne
he escaped. But other troubles came
upon Theseus in other lands. and he
fell because he came to be too full Of
pride.
