Prologue
In the time of the great architect Daedalus, there lived a group of brothers who fought for the throne of their deceased father. The youngest, Minos, prayed to the god of the sea, Poseidon, to send him a white-bull as a sign that he should rule. He promised the sea god that he would sacrifice the bull to him in honor of his mighty favor.
A strong, beautiful snow white bull arose from the sea and thus Minos was crowned. So magnificent was the bull that Minos kept it for himself. Angered at this slight and disrespect, Poseidon had the new king's wife fall in love with it.
In anguish, Pasipha, the queen, had Daedalus build her a cow in which she could fit inside to trick the bull into thinking she was a real beast. The architect built it so life like that it looked as if it would walk away at any moment. They took the wooden cow into the field and soon the bull mounted it and Pasipha had all she could desire.
Nine months after the encounter with the white bull, Pasipha gave birth to a monster called the Minotaur. It caused such havoc and chaos on the island of Crete that the clever Daedalus was summoned again, but this time to build an intricate maze in which the beast could not find is way out of.
Soon, the monster was captured and put into the labyrinth, much to its mother's dismay, who, despite all, still loved it.
The gods, who were still angry at Minos' deception, decided that every nine years, seven youths and seven untainted maidens were to be sacrificed to the half man half monster, as a punishment to Pasipha's unholy union.
The Greek's, terrified by what might happen if they did not subside to the god's wishes, sent the fairest youths to Crete every nine years. They came from all over the country and were the most beautiful and pure. Some were of royalty and some of common blood.
One year they sent a defiled maiden and when the Minotaur smelled her he knew she was corrupted. For this crime they had to send 14 more people to Crete to be eaten.
Decade after decade young ones were sent to their death and soon Grecians became livid. Their people lived in fear that they might be the next chosen to go to their doom and die a most horrible death.
But, a hero among the Greeks stepped up and offered his life in order to save hundreds. The prince of Athens promised he would keep the youths who sailed with him safe, and he promised his father he would return alive to continue the dynasty…he promised life.
