This is a twist on the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. The story delves deeper into the days before the hero's encounter with the beast, however is largely fiction, even for a story based on a myth.
Originally inspired by a prompt given to me by a friend.

Minos, the ruler of Crete, has been sending young Athenians to be slaughtered in the Labyrinth by the Minotaur after his son was killed. That is, until the hero Theseus decides to step up and battle the beast.
