1 :01x01 - Theseus & The Minotaur (Dec/01/1991)
Theseus discovers he is the son of King Aegeus, and in order to please his wealthy new pop the young man decides to do battle with the labyrinth-bound half-man/half-bull Minotaur that currently demands a number of regular sacrifices. One of Theseus's main problems is not just the twists and turns of the labyrinth, but the questionable loyalties of King Minos' cute daughter Ariadne.
