Once upon a time, there was a Greek
architect and inventor by the name of Daedalus, whose fame had spread
far beyond the borders of his homeland. He lived in Crete with his son
Icarus, and was the royal architect of King Minos. When the Minotaur was
born of Pasiphae, King Minos had Daedalus construct a Labyrinth which
would house the Minotaur. The Minotaur was no ordinary monster; this half
man, half bull monstrosity had a taste for human flesh, as well as the
strength of a dozen men.
Every four years, Aegeus, the king
of Athens was forced to send 7 young males and 7 young females to their
deaths at the hand of the Minotaur. However, Theseus, the unbeknownst
son of Aegeus swore that he would destroy the Minotaur, and save the youths
from such a terrible demise. In Crete, disguised as one of the youths
to be sacrificed, he catches the eye of the lovely Ariadne, daughter of
King Minos. Not willing to see her new love harmed, she vows to help Theseus
kill the Minotaur and escape with the youths back to Athens.
