WHEELOCK: CHAPTER 15
In this myth a victory by the Athenian hero Theseus is tarnished by the
tragic event that follows.
Athenis vivebant Theseus eiusque pater, rex Aegeus. Illo
tempore cives regi insulae Cretae poenas dabant: septem
pueros et eundem numerum puellarum ad eum mittebant.
Hae quattuordecim victimae Minotauro suas vitas dabant.
Suo patri Theseus dixit, "Hunc malum morem tolerare non
possum! Ego ipse Minotaurum non timeo. Istum inveniam
et, si potero, meis viribus vincam. Dis meam fortunam
committo. Alba vela videbis, o mi pater, si mortem fu-
giam." Itaque Theseus se cum aliis victimis iunxit et trans
mare ad Cretam navigavit. Ibi suo labore Minotaurum
superare et arte Ariadnae, suae amicae, fugere poterat.
Aegeus suum filium in scopulo diu exspectaverat;
nunc navem ipsam sui filii videre poterat. Sed vela nigra,
non alba sunt! Stultus Theseus suum consilium memoria
non tenuerat; vela non mutaverat. Miser Aegeus sine mora
se iecit in mare "Aegaeum."
