This week in class, we’re reading "Theseus and the Minotaur" by E2BN.org.
In this myth from Ancient Greece, a brave Athenian prince sets out to Crete to take a stand against the monster who has been terrorizing his people for years.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Honor & Courage and Power & Greed as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
