PRODUCT SUMMARY
Theseus was a mortal who got very little help from the gods. Yet, because he left the comfort of his village to take on a life of great challenges, danger and tremendous responsibility, Theseus is widely considered one of the most popular of the ancient heroes. Theseus & The Minotaur charts the adventures of this heroic character -- from his rise out of obscurity all the way to the throne of Athens. Viewers join Theseus as he makes his heroic decision to take on King Minos, the ruler of Crete, and the deadly Minotaur. Part of the multivolume Greek Mythology for Students Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
