Summary

These tales from Greek mythology are told in the tradition of the master storyteller, complete with an ironic sense of humor. Every nine years, the Athenians have to send a sacrifice of seven young men and women to Crete. These victims meet a gruesome end in the jaws of the Minotaur. Only Theseus can end this cycle, but he will need the help of a famous craftsman, a princess, and a ball of thread. Will he survive?
