Theseus

A fairy tale based on an ancient myth. For ancient guilt, Athens paid a cruel toll to the ruler of Crete. Every nine years, a ship brought young Athenians to the Cretan labyrinth, where certain death awaited them. It seemed to be the case forever. However, the daughter of the Cretan king Ariadne, out of love, decided to rescue one of the prisoners. With the help of the goddess Pallas Athena, Theseus manages to kill the Minotaur, the ruler of the labyrinth, and Ariadne's thread leads him and the other convicts out of the dreaded maze.
