GREEK FARMER SAW A 4-FOOT-WIDE HOLE AT HIS FARM, EXPLORING THE DEPTH REVEALS AN UNUSUAL FIND

Theseus’ Sacrifice

For many years, Minotaur was trapped in a labyrinth especially designed to prevent him from escaping. Minos used to send seven maidens and seven young people from Athens to be devoured by the creature. This continued until one day when a hero came along. His name was Theseus. He offered himself to be sacrificed and killed the beast instead. He then fled with Minos’ daughter, Ariadne.
