There, young men and young ladies are eaten up by the man-eating Minotaur, a beast with the leader of a bull and the body of a man. Theseus, Prince of Athens, chooses to put a stop to this and sails off to kill the brute. He guarantees his dad, King Aegeus, that he'll change the dark sail of the ship to white on his arrival voyage to demonstrate that he endures.
