Chapter 3 - Exercise 2

In the story of 'Theseus and the Minotaur', King Aegeus of Athens and King Minos of Crete agree to send fourteen Athenian youths to be sacrificed to the Minotaur every nine years. Theseus volunteers to fight the Minotaur, promising to return with a white sail if victorious, and ultimately defeats the monster using a sword. The tale highlights Theseus's bravery and willingness to risk his life, though it is noted that the story may be too implausible for young children to fully believe.

Exercise 2: “Theseus and the

Minotaur”

Chapter 3
 1. King Aegeus was the king of Athens and
King Minos was the King of Crete.

 2. The two kings (King Aegeus and King


Minos) agree they’d send seven Athenian
boys and seven Athenina girls (each every
nine years) to be eaten by the Minotaur that
lived on Crete.
 3. He promised to change the boats sail from
a black one to a white (which meant if it’s
white, he had won) to show that he lives. If
the boat sail wasn’t white when he came
back but still is black, everyone would know
that he didn’t defeat the Minotaur.
 4. The Minotaur was a fearsome monster
that ate children. He lived in a big maze,
Labyrinth.

 5. The tied the string to the door (like the


Princess told him too) and went to find the
formidable monster, Minotaur. When he
finally did find the monster, a big fight broke
loose and Theseus killed the Minotaur with a
sword. As he followed the string back to the
door.
 6. Theseus was very brave to do something
like conquer the Minotaur. We learn that
he’ll risk his life for someone and that he
wasn’t afraid of trouncing the brute that
lived on Crete.

 7. The story is told a bit too implausible,


young children would easily believe this
story. The evidence was that not all of their
conclusions were right, or true.
