Matador de minotauros y campeón de Atenas: Teseo se enfrenta al minotauro (parte 4)

On this journey, students will discover through maps and visual aids the adventure of Theseus facing his greatest foe, the Minotaur, what he is most famous for.  We will explore the backstory of Europe itself with the story of 'Europa' and the founding of Crete.  Students will learn of Minos and how he rose to power, Theseus falling in love with Ariadne, Minos' daughter, and how she ensures Theseus' success.  The fight between Theseus and the Minotaur will be central to this class and we will discuss several different versions through the ages, including short stories such as 'La Casa de Asterion' (The House of Asterion) by Jorge Luis Borges.  We will learn of the flight from Crete, how the Aegean Sea and Icarian Sea received their names.  Finally, we will discover the fate of Minos and that of Daedalus, the brilliant architect of the Labyrinth.
 Images and some video may be shared to help bring this story to life and I as the storyteller will use my theatrical background to make the tale memorable.  Class sizes are kept small to ensure students are given ample opportunity to interact with the teacher and each other.  Students are encouraged to speak freely but take care to not speak over each other.
