Theseus and the Minotaur

"Theseus is bold. He's brave. And he's about to go head-to-head with a mythological monster. Yikes! But Theseus has no fear. He heads into the labyrinth to face the minotaur--a monster that's half-man, half-bull-with only a magical ball of string to guide him. Find out if Theseus makes it out of the maze alive in this modern, graphic retelling of a classic Greek myth"--Provided by publisher.

Ariadne

2021
"Ariadne, Princess of Crete, grows up greeting the dawn from her beautiful dancing floor and listening to her nursemaid's stories of gods and heroes. But beneath her golden palace echo the ever-present hoofbeats of her brother, the Minotaur, a monster who demands blood sacrifice every year. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives to vanquish the beast, Ariadne sees in his green eyes not a threat but an escape. Defying the gods, betraying her family and country, and risking everything for love, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur. But will Ariadne's decision ensure her happy ending? And what of Phaedra, the beloved younger sister she leaves behind?"--Provided by publisher.

The story of the Minotaur

The myth of the Minotaur is one of the oldest stories in history. It comes from the Greek island of Crete, where Minoan civilization flourished between 3000 and 1100 BCE. The labyrinth in which the monster was imprisoned is also the first mention of a maze in the historical record. Through the age-appropriate main text, augmented by engaging fact boxes and full-color photographs, readers learn about the fascinating history of ancient Greece. A glossary of new terms is included to give a deeper understanding of the material.
