00:00The Labyrinth of Knossos
00:13Once upon a time there was an enormous island located in the middle of the Greek seas.
00:18On this island existed a powerful kingdom of Minos.
00:21It was known for being the strongest kingdom in Greece at that time.
00:24You, your betrayal with our kingdom is unforgivable.
00:28Execute this.
00:29Yes, your majesty.
00:30Please, spare my life.
00:34Is this not what you want?
00:36Have you forgotten what he has done for our kingdom?
00:40Yes.
00:41Well, I mean...
00:44Very well.
00:45Follow Queen Poseidon's words on your merits.
00:48I will show you some mercy.
00:50What?
00:52He committed treason?
00:53And still walked away just like that?
00:55It's unacceptable.
00:56The king is so indecisive.
00:58I agree.
00:59He is too subservient to Queen Pasiphae.
01:02She may be beautiful on the outside, but deep down she is a wicked woman.
01:08Did you know that Queen Pasiphae loves hanging out with bulls?
01:11What?
01:12Are you being serious?
01:14Why would I joke about that?
01:15The whole kingdom has been spreading these rumors lately.
01:19You are so busy working.
01:20Why else would you not know what people are discussing?
01:23I mean, is it even real?
01:25It's real.
01:27I couldn't believe it myself until I secretly followed her.
01:30I followed her to the valley of those bulls, and dear God, she was playing and hugging
01:34them.
01:35Oh, my God.
01:38Cretatures are exactly like their name.
01:40Cretan bulls.
01:42Those creatures look horrifying and extremely scary.
01:45Their roars are like thunder strikes.
01:47Good God.
01:48I can't believe this is true.
01:49And do you know what their favorite food is?
01:52What?
01:53Human flesh.
01:54My God.
01:55Human flesh?
01:57That's right.
01:58I feel sad for our king.
01:59He was blinded by her beauty, and he didn't even know anything about the relationship
02:03between her and those monsters.
02:05Queen Pasiphae is so corrupted.
02:08She has such a loose lifestyle.
02:11Your Majesty, the Queen is in labor.
02:13Oh, my God.
02:14Wonderful.
02:15I'll come immediately.
02:16But, Your Majesty, she...
02:17What is it?
02:18This is my big day.
02:19Why do you...
02:20Why do you look so frightened?
02:21Your Majesty, forgive me, but the Queen didn't give birth to a child.
02:32She gave birth to...
02:33Why do you keep mumbling like that?
02:35Speak clearly now.
02:36A bull monster.
02:39What did you just say?
02:41What monster?
02:42Bull monster.
02:43My God.
02:44Could it be?
02:45My God.
02:46Her skin is harder than rock.
02:47All of the spears and pikes bounced off it.
02:48It's truly a horrifying monster.
02:49Unbelievable.
02:50Everyone, look.
02:51No damage done at all.
02:52Not even a single scratch.
02:53You stupid little humans.
02:54Bring me raw meat.
02:55Now.
02:56I'll kill you.
02:57I'll kill you.
02:58I'll kill you.
02:59I'll kill you.
03:00I'll kill you.
03:01I'll kill you.
03:02I'll kill you.
03:03I'll kill you.
03:04I'll kill you.
03:05I'll kill you.
03:06I'll kill you.
03:07I'll kill you.
03:08I'll kill you.
03:09I'll kill you.
03:10I'll kill you.
03:11I'll kill you.
03:12I'll kill you.
03:13I'll kill you.
03:14We need you raw meat.
03:15Now.
03:16Shoot it with your arrows.
03:17Stop it.
03:18If you dare to kill him, you might as well kill me.
03:20Have you got no shame at all?
03:23I'm the one who's carrying pain and blood.
03:25Giving birth to him, no one dares to kill him.
03:28Let him live, or I will end myself right here.
03:32You.
03:33This is outrageous.
03:38But dear God, that monster is so terrifying, he tossed two huge warriors up in the sky
03:42like tossing two cats.
03:45Its strength is unbelievable, rumours said that the queen gave birth to that monster.
03:49And his favourite food is fresh meat.
03:52Run now, run for your life quickly, he's coming this way.
04:00Many years later, the bull monster began his rampage around the kingdom, stealing and eating
04:05live livestock from people day by day.
04:09King Minos secretly ordered soldiers to take him down with poisoned arrows.
04:13He even sent out warriors to execute the bull monster.
04:17But everything was futile when it came to the monster's power.
04:20Not even thousands of elite soldiers could defeat it.
04:23Your Majesty, thousands of our elite soldiers have surrounded the bull monster, but all
04:27have failed.
04:28We've lost hundreds of talented and experienced soldiers, but all have failed.
04:33Hundreds of them are dead?
04:38You still demand to keep that monster alive, after all he has done?
04:44Do you know how many lives have been taken by that thing, that monster is impossible
04:48to kill, even if I want to?
05:07No more talking, I don't care what you did before, from now on you will stay in your
05:12chamber and try to look back on everything you've done, or else I will lock you in this
05:18palace forever.
05:20After many years of fighting with the bull, King Minos came up with an idea to put an
05:24end to everything.
05:26He built a big large maze and trapped the monster inside it.
05:29In order to build this sophisticated maze, King Minos had to ask for the help of the
05:34most skillful craftsman in Greece at that time.
05:37His name is Daedalus, father of the Labyrinth of Knossos.
05:40Although this labyrinth could not end the bull's life, it could imprison that monster,
05:46preventing his rampage and the damage he could have done to the kingdom.
05:49Under the instruction of the famous architecture, Daedalus, all the workers hastened to build
05:54the maze, day and night.
05:56Eventually, the Labyrinth of Knossos was built in only seven days.
06:01Forgive me for not greeting you, Your Majesty.
06:03I was trapped inside for a whole day before I got out.
06:06Heavens?
06:07You built it yourself and still got lost inside?
06:10Yes.
06:11I followed my own instructions and still struggled with it.
06:17That's even better.
06:18Even the builder of it got trapped inside.
06:21There's no way that bull monster can escape.
06:27Let me out!
06:28Let me out!
06:30It wasn't difficult to lure the bull monster into the Labyrinth of Knossos by using fresh
06:34meat.
06:37The monster got trapped inside this one-of-a-kind maze immediately.
06:41After a while, he had given up on finding his way out.
06:44However, King Minos' servants had to feed the furious monster fresh meat daily.
06:55Where is my food?
06:56Where is my fresh meat?
06:58Why on earth took you people so long?
07:01What's going on?
07:05It's the bull monster, Your Majesty.
07:07He screamed like that because of a late meal.
07:10Oh God, how can we live while it's behaving like this?
07:14Since then, fresh meat had to be delivered to the bull monster on time.
07:20Even a minute late could trigger the monster immediately.
07:23His roar was incredibly loud and it could shake the entire palace.
07:29Delicious meat, you've put a lot of work into building this beautiful maze.
07:34I don't mind being a guest here.
07:37However, beside my daily meal, you have to deliver one adult and seven children to me
07:44every year.
07:45Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite.
07:53What?
07:54He wants to eat humans.
07:55This is way over the line.
07:58Later, Minos' kingdom and Athens' kingdom went on a war with each other due to territorial
08:04disputes.
08:07Athens was defeated.
08:10Athens has been defeated.
08:12You're no longer allowed to get near our sea border anymore.
08:16Go back and notify your king.
08:18Every year, Athens must send one adult and seven children to our kingdom as a tribute
08:22to the bull monster inside the labyrinth of Knossos.
08:25I will immediately inform the king of Athens.
08:29When the tribute submission dateline came, the king of Athens was extremely anxious.
08:35His only child, Prince Theseus, insisted on being the scarification.
08:40Theseus, are you mad?
08:43I will send out a slave to Minos.
08:45This doesn't concern you.
08:48That monster is a dead penalty hanging on our people's necks.
08:52I have to kill it.
08:53As the prince of Athens, I will not hesitate to have innocent people's lives be taken
08:59away like that.
09:00But that monster is very ferocious.
09:02Even the elite soldiers of Minos couldn't handle it.
09:07They trapped it inside the labyrinth called Knossos for a reason.
09:11I have made up my mind.
09:13Have faith in me, father.
09:14I'll be glad if you support me.
09:17All right.
09:18Go to Minos.
09:19But remember, your life is the most important thing to me.
09:22And this kingdom, you can come back anytime.
09:25If you change your mind...
09:28Oh, Prince Theseus, the bravest, the talented, the pride of our kingdom.
09:34Look at him.
09:35He is so strong and charming.
09:37Exactly.
09:38Totally.
09:39Even though he is from the royal family.
09:42Still, he has been putting himself through rigorous training to become one of Athens'
09:48greatest heroes.
09:50That vicious blue monster has killed so many people already.
09:53He may die.
09:55Long live Prince Theseus.
09:57Prince Theseus, may God bless you.
10:05Is he the prince of Athens?
10:07Really?
10:08Your Majesty, I am Theseus, Prince of Athens.
10:11And I am the one entering the labyrinth of Knossos as your request.
10:15The prince of Athens.
10:16Actually, my demands were not that high.
10:19You could send anyone from Athens, which is fine.
10:22The life of every person in Athens is more precious than mine.
10:27This prince truly has spirit.
10:29His bravery may be, it is because he does not know much about this monster, Emy, how
10:34dangerous it is.
10:35This young man is so courageous.
10:37Just looking into his eyes, you can see that his words come from the depths of his heart.
10:42You are quite impressive.
10:43I really admire your dedication to your people and the bravery of you.
10:49However, once you enter the labyrinth of Knossos, you may never get out.
10:53I will grant you this one night before you enter it.
10:56Tell me, do you have any last requests?
11:02Leave the seven children outside.
11:04That is my only request.
11:06Let me be the first one to enter the labyrinth of Knossos.
11:09Very well.
11:10Not only are you brave, but also compassionate.
11:13You have my respect.
11:15However, I must confine you with the children tonight, as you arrived here as the sacrifice
11:21for the labyrinth.
11:24Forgive us for not being able to treat you as a royal guest.
11:29I don't mind.
11:31I know I was right from the first time I saw him.
11:33He is such a handsome and courageous prince.
11:36I must prevent my father from killing him.
11:41While the palace held a feast that night, Princess Ariadne secretly brought a large
11:45bottle of wine to where the Seus was confined.
11:49A special wine that made whoever drank it unconscious for at least three days and three nights.
11:55Guards, you've been working tirelessly day and night.
11:58There's a feast in the palace tonight.
12:00My father has specially rewarded you.
12:03With some of his finest wine.
12:05Enjoy yourselves for a night.
12:06The cells are all locked.
12:08The gates are all closed.
12:09You don't have to worry about anything.
12:11Thank you, Princess.
12:12Thank you, Your Majesty.
12:15Theseus, where are you?
12:18Who's calling me?
12:19I am Princess Ariadne.
12:21Princess Ariadne, daughter of King Minos?
12:24That's right.
12:26I have heard tales of your beauty for a long time.
12:28But why have you come here alone?
12:30I have come to save you and the children.
12:33Save me and the children?
12:35Yes.
12:36Let's hurry up, get on a boat, and leave this place.
12:39No.
12:40I am not running away.
12:41I must kill the bull monster to save the innocent children of Athens,
12:44so the Athenian will no longer be a scarification anymore.
12:48Looking into prime Theseus' fiery eyes, Ariadne understood his resolute determination.
12:54She admired and cherished the Prince of Athens even more.
12:57Wait for me.
12:58I will return shortly.
13:00Instead of finding a way to help Tixuzi escape,
13:03Princess Aelia, defying all risks, sought out the master swordsmith, Thalataxi.
13:08Thalataxi had been secretly commissioned by King Meros to forge a special sword,
13:13sharp and powerful enough to combat the Minotaur when the time has come.
13:19Why are you here right now, Princess?
13:21Is there anything wrong?
13:22Has the monster escaped from the Labyrinth?
13:24No.
13:25The monster is still confined in the Labyrinth.
13:27Then what are you doing here?
13:29You.
13:30Me and the King have made a secret agreement.
13:32We only meet when you need the sword to fight the bull, right?
13:36That's right.
13:37I have found the rightful master of this special sword.
13:40Ariadne then told the story of Theseus, a young courageous Prince of Athens,
13:45and how determined he was on killing the monster trapped inside the Labyrinth.
13:49My goodness!
13:50The sword is glowing!
13:51As if it has magical powers!
13:53I spent over a year forging this sword days and nights.
13:57Never have I seen it glowing like this.
14:00What does it do, Bill?
14:01I always hang the sword on the highest shelf over there,
14:04along with other great swords.
14:06But since last night, the sword has been continuously glowing like this.
14:10This is the first time in my blacksmith career
14:12that I have witnessed a sword glow like this.
14:15I have a feeling it has found its true master.
14:18Allowing me to entrust you with this special sword.
14:20Please, deliver it to the brave Prince of Athens.
14:23Please take care of yourself.
14:25When my father discovers this,
14:27tell him that I forced you to hand it over to me.
14:31I will do my best.
14:32I will do my best.
14:33I will do my best.
14:34I will do my best.
14:35I will do my best.
14:36I will do my best.
14:37I will do my best.
14:38I will do my best.
14:39I forced you to hand over the sword.
14:41Do not worry about me.
14:42You must hurry back.
14:46This sword is truly not an ordinary sword.
14:49I have to be honest with you.
14:50This special sword was secretly forged
14:52by the most skilled swordsmith in Greece.
14:55In case the monster gets out
14:57and attacks our kingdom's people,
14:59this sword will be used to protect us.
15:03Oh, is that so?
15:05Only the king, me, and Thalitaxi,
15:07the blacksmith, know the existence of this special sword.
15:11Ever since you arrived in our kingdom,
15:13something strange has happened to this sword.
15:16Prince Theseus, everything is clear.
15:18You are the master that sword has been looking for.
15:21You want to give this to me?
15:22It's such a priceless national treasure.
15:25Your life and the king's life will be put in danger
15:28if anything happens to me.
15:29No, Prince Theseus.
15:30I believe that you will defeat the monster.
15:33I am just delivering it to you.
15:35Use this sword to kill the monster.
15:37It's not just a scourge on your people of Aten.
15:40But it is also threatening the innocent people
15:42of Minos days and nights.
15:44Take this ball of yarn to mark your path in the labyrinth.
15:48The guards have all passed out by now.
15:51I will take you to the labyrinth.
15:53You are so kind and brave, Adria.
15:55Thank you so much.
15:56Theseus, you...
15:58Can you...
15:59Can you take me with you after that monster was killed?
16:02The monster was killed?
16:05Take you with me?
16:07Yes.
16:08If my father discovered that I was the one who took the sword away,
16:10he would not let it pass.
16:12Princess Adria, thank you for believing in me,
16:15even willing to risk your life for me.
16:17I will definitely come back for you
16:19and will not let you down.
16:21I will be right here.
16:22Prince Theseus, I will wait for you
16:24even if it takes me a lifetime.
16:26I'll be here.
16:28Truly, thank you.
16:29I will take the kids to the harbor
16:31and wait for your victory return.
16:33Then, we're gonna leave this kingdom at night.
16:36Then Princess Adria unlocked the secret entrance
16:39to the labyrinth of Knossos,
16:41guiding Theseus in.
16:44He brought the ball of yarn to mark his path.
16:47Holding the magical sword,
16:49he was ready to go on a battle with the bull monster.
16:56You little brat,
16:57I'm gonna eat you slave alive.
16:59Stay right there.
17:02No!
17:06The Minotaur chased after Prince Theseus
17:08for several hours around the labyrinth.
17:17After a while,
17:18the prince took his chance
17:19to give the Minotaur a fatal strike
17:21when the monster was exhausted.
17:23Using his brilliant plan and the magical sword,
17:26Theseus killed the Minotaur with just one hit.
17:29Its body then turned into dust
17:31and got blown into the air.
17:36After Theseus got out of the labyrinth,
17:38he took the princess and the kids
17:40back to Athens' kingdom.
17:44When King Minos learned about this,
17:46he was so furious but couldn't do anything.
17:50He poured all his rage on Thalitaxi.
17:55I accept the king's punishment.
17:57It was me who willingly gave the sword to the princess.
18:00But I do not regret it,
18:02for the divine sword found its rightful master.
18:04Insolent!
18:05How dare you all defy me?
18:08As a reward,
18:09imprison Thalitaxi's family
18:11in the Nasus' labyrinth
18:12to starve to death.
18:16With his intelligence and his skill,
18:18Thalitaxi gathered a large amount of feathers
18:20from all the dead birds inside the maze.
18:23He managed to turn them into giant wings
18:26for every member of his family.
18:28Fortunately for Thalitaxi,
18:30the birds that flew into the labyrinth of Nasus
18:33and died was no ordinary birds.
18:35The magical wings made from their feathers
18:38helped Thalitaxi's family escape the labyrinth.
18:41They flew over the sea
18:43and left the Minos' kingdom behind.
18:45It's about Prince Theseus' part.
18:47He married Princess Adriadne,
18:49inherited his father's throne
18:51and became one of the greatest kings of Greece.
18:54As time passed by,
18:56King Minos finally calmed down
18:58and looked back on everything.
19:00He decided to keep the labyrinth of Nasus
19:02behind the main palace
19:04as a reminder to his extravagant wife
19:06of the great disaster she caused.
19:08After all,
19:09instead of blaming Theseus,
19:11King Minos saw that he had truly done
19:13a great service to his country.
19:15He often looked out to sea,
19:17hoping that one day Theseus and his daughter
19:19would return to Minos.
19:21Kikiu
