The Minotaur and the Labyrinth 

Once upon a time, on the island of Crete, there lived a fearsome creature called the Minotaur. Half-man, half-bull, the Minotaur was kept imprisoned in a labyrinth, a complex maze designed by the skilled architect Daedalus. 

 Every nine years, the Athenians were forced to send seven young men and seven young women to be sacrificed to the Minotaur. These unfortunate souls would be led into the labyrinth and left to be devoured by the beast. 

 One year, the brave young Athenian named Theseus volunteered to go to Crete and slay the Minotaur. Before he left, Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, gave him a ball of thread. She told him to unwind the thread as he entered the labyrinth, so he could find his way back out. Theseus entered the labyrinth, unwinding the thread as he went. He wandered through the maze for hours, but eventually, he found the Minotaur. A fierce battle ensued, but Theseus, with his sword and the help of Ariadne's thread, managed to slay the beast. With the Minotaur dead, Theseus escaped the labyrinth and returned to Athens, where he was hailed as a hero. However, on his way home, he forgot to raise a white sail, a signal that he had defeated the Minotaur. As a result, his father, King Aegeus, believing his son was dead, jumped into the sea and drowned.
