And I don't know if it's worse if it would be pitch black or if there'd be torches with spooky light, you know, making shadows loom and stuff. I don't know which would be more terrifying. It would be terrifying. He's got to find his way to the center of this maze, kill the Minotaur, and then get back. And Ariadne gives him the famous thread or the twine.

And if he can just keep hold of the thread as it unspools, he can use it to find his way back. Now, one thing that's fascinating to me about this myth is it's a perfect example of what's called the hero's journey, which is this kind of template of storytelling that we find in almost, well, many of the Greek myths. And many Hollywood screenwriters love this hero's journey structure.

And they use it for... their stories, which don't have to be about heroes and Greek myths. I mean, Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz follows this template. Star Wars follows this template. Pixar's Upt follows this template. I could go on and on telling you all the films that follow the template of the hero's journey, where the hero gets a call to adventure.

They have to leave their ordinary world and go, they have to cross a threshold. This is very important. Thresholds are super important. A threshold into a new world of adventure. So just think of Theseus going into the labyrinth. And often before the hero goes, a helper called a mentor will give them advice and give them a talisman, an object.

So in this bit of the story, Ariadne is the mentor and she gives Theseus, a ball of string, which is the talisman, and that's going to help him. Now, according to some accounts, he just punches the Minotaur, but we mostly see him with a sword on depictions.

He goes into the Minotaur and into the labyrinth, and there's often a step in the hero's journey called the visit to death, and this is the visit to death. It's symbolic of going to the underworld. And almost every hero in Greek mythology goes to the underworld in one way or another. And then the hero must do the task. They must take the elixir, kill the monster, save the princess, whatever.

And then they must get back home again. And then they have to cross another threshold to get back home. So we often see Anvaz's thesis emerging from the labyrinth. And it's often shown by a couple of columns and a pediment. And sometimes the Minotaur is there with him.
