---Myths---

One of the myths I read today was that of Theseus. I was surprised at how brief the story of the fight with the minotaur was, because it was barely described in one sentence. I had always thought that more importance was given to it, as it has always been the part we were told about. I also found it interesting how Theseus and Medea´s stories are alike when they a close relationship. She was his stepmother, and she had been abandoned by Jason. Theseus later abandoned Ariadne, the woman who was in love with him and had also helped him survive the perils he had to face. It later says that Theseus married Phaedra, the daughter of Minos, the Cretan King. Isn´t she Ariadne´s sister then? I think this is an interesting point to consider, but there is no mention of this in the actual myth translation.
