    However, on the third time, the hero of athens offered to go. His name was thesus. He challenged the beast and got the help of the princess to find his way around the maze.
    After a while he defeated the minotaur and was victorious. He then escaped with the princess.

    The constellation corona borialis is related to the princess who leant her aid to Thesus in this task.

    He died when his wife posioned him. However zeus saved his immortal halve and made him a god on olympus.

    Cronos and his children

    Cronos, after killing his own father, obtained a profecy from the oracles that read 'your son will be stronger than you and eventually kill you.
    This scared cronos so after every child he had was born, he would swallow them whole. Believing that would keep him safe from his fate.
    However, his wife gave birth to zeus
    and was sick of her children being eaten. She hid him away and in place of her child, fed cronos a rock dressed in babies clothes.
    Fooling him completly.

    However, this child was zeus. One day, cronos ended up vomiting up all of his children. Fully grown and powerful.
    Athena however, popped out of his head with armor and a shield with her spear.
    There was then a long war between titans and these children, where the children won.
    Zeus chopped cronos into many pieces and cast his body into the pit of taurturs.
    The gods then lived in olympus and ruled the world from that day.
