THESEUS,
Library of Congress, Washington, D. C.
THESEUS sailed with a company of Athenian youths and
maidens who were sent as a tribute to King Minos of Crete to
be given over to Minotaur, a monster half-bull and half-woman,
which fed on human flesh. Adriane, the daughter of Minos,
fell in love with Theseus, and gave him the clue of the labyrinth,
by which he was enabled to reach and slay the Minotaur. Adriane
set sail with the hero for Athens, but, on the way, at the isle of
Naxos, Minerva, in a dream, directed Theseus to desert her, and
in obedience to the command he sailed away and left Adriane
sleeping.
