    clash with a giant sow and a wicked innkeeper. After that a part that is unforgettable to me, was when Theseus was put in prison by the Athenians so that he could be devoured by the Minotaur. However, he prayed to the goddess Aphrodite and she had Ariadne, King Minos’s daughter fall in love with Theseus and let him out so he could kill the Minotaur.

    The µῦθος of Theseus and the Minotaur is alluded to near the start of Plato’s Phaedo by the character Phaedo (58 B-C) to initiate a parallel between the µῦθος itself and the teachings of the character Socrates in the pages that follow. As the discussion between Socrates and his companions continues up until his death, this parallel becomes ever more clear, and by the end of the Phaedo it is reasonable to interpret the µῦθος as an analogy for the transition from life to death, where Socrates is…

    My father, King Minos was a cruel man and I’ve always been ashamed of being his daughter. Every ruler feared him because he was powerful and they will agree whenever my father asked for something. My father loved to demand the rulers of the lands around to send him tributes to honor him, and they would do it without any doubt because that way my father would not declare war on them. For me, that was disgusting and so embarrassing for he had no heart. The Athens were not safe and my father’s…

A thought to be normal kid just a little quiet grows up to become a killer and a cannibal. The killer, cannibal side of him was the animal in him that showed itself. Not everyone shows their animal side. Most of us are pretty good at taming the beast inside. Perhaps that is what the minotaur had trouble with. When he was a baby it has been said…

    Deliver Us from the Labyrinth of Madness: Character Affect in Djuna Barnes 's Nightwood Language is a labyrinth we are born into lost. Only by leaving breadcrumbs, threading our subject, does one remember whence s/he came, where his/her subject ends and begins. Language may offer a solution to reduce problems into simplicity, but for such problems it conceals in language the people suffering within it. The alcoholic, the prostitute, the shameful, are made into monstrous forms by the epithets…

    I think that the Hunger Games and the myth of Theseus is similar because in both stories people were being sent as entertainment and to be killed. In the myth of Theseus, Theseus asked why people were being sent off so his dad told him and Theseus didn’t like it so he went as sacrifice one year and he killed the minotaur. In the Hunger Games, Katniss was out hunting on the day of the reaping and she came home and her little sister asked her why they did the reaping and Katniss said it was for…
