Episode Summary
  
[x] Remove Ad
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. Death comes in the form of an old man dropping off of a cliff, a woman left to die alone on a remote island and of course that scary Minotaur.
