Theseus and the Minotaur

Once upon a time in the great civilization of Greece, there were two great cities who were at war with one another, Athens and Crete. When the war ended, the triumphant king of Crete, Minos, declared that peace would only be obtained on condition that every 9 years the Athenians send him 7 boys and 7 girls. This was revenge for the death of his son.
