Professor Spenser sat in the empty classroom waiting for the class to arrive. He was eager to begin the lecture he had planned for the day. When the class finally did get to their seats, Professor Spenser walked to the front of the room, holding a very old, very dusty book. "Alright! I'd like for all of you to take out your quills and papers and prepare to take notes.

"Today’s lecture is going to be about the Labyrinth of Crete. The maze-or labyrinth-is central to one of the best known Greek myths about a hero's test of skill, the historical account of Theseus and the Minotaur. The Labyrinth was built on the island of Crete by Daedalus, perhaps the most able inventor of his time. It was created to hold the pet of King Minos-a man-eating monster with a bull's head and human body, known as the Minotaur.

"At the time, Crete dominated Athens, which was forced to pay an annual tribute of seven young men and seven young women to Crete. Every year these unlucky souls were sent into the labyrinth, which was too confusing to escape, and were eaten by the Minotaur. One year Thesus, son of the Athenian king, was among the offerings. But Minos's daughter Ariadne fell in love with him before he entered the labyrinth. To save his life, she gave him a sword to kill the Minotaur and a ball of thread to trail behind him so he could find his way back.

"Although Theseus proved ungrateful to Ariadne, after his success in the labyrinth he became one of the greatest kings of Athens."


Professor Spenser stopped and smiled at the students. "You did well today, so I am not going to assign any homework for you! Thank you all for taking notes! Class dismissed!"
Homework Assignment:


This is going to be by far the easiest thing I give you to do. All I want you to do is RP this lecture. I am sticking to what I did last "year" in the fact whereas I will give a reward to the class if 50% or more of you do this assignment. Trust me, this one is worth it!
