Theseus in the Minotaur’s Labyrinth – Edward Burne-Jones (Painted in 1861) Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca , Roman Philosopher and Statesman
. . .
“Bravely must I brave all odds,
Pitted against the whims of gods.
Doomed, to labyrinth, I head,
To serve as sacrificial bread.
Minos who decides my fate,
Pursues Athenian blood, irate.
Winding walls Daedalus laid,
To cradle the Cretan beast not slayed.
To be prey, far from prepared,
Armed with nought but Ariadne’s thread,
Embark do I, on conquest chill,
Shielded by an indomitable will.
Theseus will not lie gnat-rotten.
I will die before I am forgotten!”
