- Theseus announced to King Minos that he was going to enter the labyrinth and slay the minotaur
- Theseus met Adriadne who fell deeply in love with Theseus and wanted to help him
- She gave him a spool of thread to help him keep his place in the labyrinth
- Theseus managed to kill the minotaur and then used the spool to string to escape from the labyrinth
- He took Adriadne with him and the two sailed back to Athens
- His boat stopped at Naxos and there was a huge party for the two for saving the Athenians
- After too much drinking Adriadne fell asleep and missed the boat that departed for Athens that had Theseus on it
- Theseus was grieving from his loss of Adriadne and forgot to change the sails of the ship from the black sail it currently was
- Theseus' father saw the black sail from a distance and committed suicide because he thought his son was dead
- There are similarities between Harry Potter and Theseus. Harry didn't know he was a wizard until later in life and Theseus didn't know he was a king's son. Harry sacrificed himself countless times for others and Theseus sacrificed himself by volunteering to go to the Labyrinth. Harry defeated Voldemort and Theseus defeated the minotaur and both had help from others.
