THESEUS

RETURN TO ATHENS

• Medea convinced Aegeus that Theseus was an encroaching enemy.
• Theseus proved to be otherwise, as his father accepted him.
• His stay is not long, as the King of Crete comes demanding sacrifices.

THE LABYRINTH

• Along with 14 other men, Theseus travels to Crete.
• Theseus enlists the idea of the inventor Daedalus, who gives him yarn.
• Theseus ties the yarn to the beginning of the labyrinth and ventures in.
• After killing the minotaur with his bare hands, Theseus exits the labyrinth.
• Theseus sails back home but forgets to fly the white flag, which causes his father to kill himself.
