hunger Games Vs. Theseus Theseus and the hunger games are very similar. Both the hunger games and in the myth of theseus tributes are sacrificed to a higher power. It was based on saving a society that was struggling to deal with a higher power. King Minos sent his only son to fight a very dangerous bull, but he ended up dying.

written down by Homer. Theseus is about forgiveness and how some people only become more forgiving after they make mistakes. The three points in the story that show him becoming more forgiving are his bandit killing spree, the time he slayed the Minotaur and his role in the death of his father. In the beginning of the story, Theseus has a clear belief of what justice is. It was said that "his idea of dealing justice was simple but effective: what each had done to others, Theseus did to…

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 entertainment.

is in the underworld. One of the most terrible modifications of this movie was the Minotaur. The Minotaur in the movie is just a large man who wears a bull helmet with barbed wire, whereas in the myth it is half man half bull. The things done throughout the labyrinth scenes are also a little off. Theseus cuts his leg and uses his blood to find his way out of the labyrinth instead of string and he kills the Minotaur with the Bow of Epirus instead of his sword. The labyrinth is also a tomb in the…

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 play I would pick that would be centered on the life of Theseus would be focused on the myth of him and the Minotaur. I feel like this is a good myth for a tragedy because there is a small number of characters at play, chiefly Theseus, his father Aegeus, the Minotaur itself, King Minos’s daughter Ariadne, and Daedalus who helps Theseus defeat the labyrinth. This small character list would fit the need for only three actors. I also think this particular myth has a lot of the features needed…

There is some question of who his father was as Aethra was with both Aegeus, king of Athens, and Poseidon on the same night. Despite this, many people believed Aegeus to be his father. When Theseus was young, Aegeus put…
