Deep below the palace of King Minos of Crete lay the labyrinth where the Minotaur awoke with hunger, the sound of someone's laboured breathing growing louder and the smell of fresh prey getting stronger to him in his lair.
The moment the Minotaur saw Theseus emerging from one of the many tunnels, paying out the last of his ball of string given to him by his love Ariadne to allow him to find his way back to the surface, the Minotaur charged and was upon Theseus in a moment.
A fierce combat ensued between the Minotaur and Theseus. Theseus was starting to tire when finally finding the weak point in the Minotaur's defence he struck.
As the Minotaur lay thrashing in its death throes Theseus cut off its head and wrapped it him his clock and then searching for and finding Ariadne's string made his way back to the surface.
I loved finding out these Greek Legends as a youngster even before my head was turned towards Rome !
