Theseus

Fantastic art. Very expressive and full of energy.
This is one eof my favorite Greek mythology stories.
Interesting things about the story: the maze was designed by Daedalus and Icarus (another tragic story, the proto flier who got to close to the sun).
All these characters somehow got punished for messing up with the gods (it was a great time back then when actions and consequences had an inmediate relationship).
Daedalus was also the one who made the wooden cow where Pasiphae, Minos's wife, hid in order to mate with the god-sent bull (which she had fallen in love with. This was Poseidon's sick punishment to Minos for not killing the bull in question), out of this little tresspassing the Minotaur was born.
