The Minotaur was a terrible monster with the body of a man, and the head of a bull. It lived on the Crete Island in the labyrinth. The citizens of Athens were to sacrifice ( принести в жертву ) seven young boys and seven young girls to the Minotaur every nine years.
One day it was once again time to send the children to Crete. Theseus, prince of Athens, told that he wanted to go with them and kill the monster. But no one could find the exit from the labyrinth. There was no escape...Theseus and others arrived in Crete. Ariadne, the princess of Crete fell in love with Theseus as soon as he arrived, and gave him a ball of thread. He could find the exit from the labyrinth in the corridors with this thread. Theseus killed the monster and saved the children. He used a ball of thread and found the exit from the labyrinth.
