In Depth One on One with Theseus
Reporter: Hi Theseus fancy being back at the labryinth!
Theseus: You are so right!
Reporter: So lets jump right in shall we. Ok. So tell me more about your wonderful victory versus the fearsome minotaur.
Theseus: Well where should I begin? Lets start from where my heroic journey really began. I moved the stone barring my father's sword and sandals. I worked very hard and trained daily to eventually be a tribute to the minotaur. The king hoped and prayed for the victory and he was sadly disappointed. I slayed the minotaur, but I forgot to change the flags so the king killed himself.

Theseus: Ariadne my love helped me defeat the minotaur.
Reporter: Who was trying to stop you?

Reporter: Did any family members help you succeed?
Theseus: Yes. Very much so. My father buried his sword and sandals under a stone and without those things I wouldn’t have succeeded.
Reporter: Thank you for your time!
Theseus: No problem.
