Minos Iovis et Europae filius cum Atheniensibus belligeravit , cuius filius Androgeus in pugna est occisus . Qui posteaquam Athenienses vicit , vectigales Minois esse coeperunt ; instituit autem , ut anno uno quoque septenos liberos suos Minotauro ad epulandum mitterent . Theseus posteaquam a Troezene venerat et audiit , quanta calamitate civitas afficeretur , voluntarie se ad Minotaurum pollicitus est ire . Quem pater cum mitteret , praedixit ei , ut , si victor reverteretur , vela candida in navem haberet ; qui autem ad Minotaurum mittebantur , velis atris navigabant .
