Although Athens did build a navy, King Minos did not
attack as the king of Athens had expected. In fact, King
Minos kept his word. And now it was time for Athens to
keep theirs. Everyone in Athens was crying.
Prince Theseus of Athens knew the importance of keeping
your word. He knew that a deal was a deal. But, he was
also quite sure that it was wrong to send small children to
be eaten by a monster. Prince Theseus told his father (the
king) that he was going to Crete as the seventh son of
Athens. He was going to kill the Minotaur and end the
terror.
