Theseus

Theseus announced to King Minos that he was going to kill the Monster , but Minos knew that even if he did manage to kill the Minotaur , Theseus would never be able to exit the Labyrinth .
Theseus met Princess Ariadne , daughter of King Minos , who fell madly in love with him and decided to help Theseus . She gave him a thread and told him to unravel it as he would penetrate deeper and deeper into the Labyrinth , so that he knows the way out when he kills the monster .
Theseus followed her suggestion and entered the labyrinth with the thread . Theseus managed to kill the Minotaur and save the Athenians , and with Ariadne ' s thread he managed to retrace his way out .
Theseus took Princess Ariadne with him and left Crete sailing happily back to Athens .
