The tribute consisted of 7 youths and 7 maidens, who were sent every year to be devoured by the Minotaur. Theseus killed the minotaur with the help of thread and sword given by Ariadne, daughter of king Minos. Theseus Minotaur Aegean Sea (爱琴海) Before Theseus departed for Crete, Aegeus told him to put up white sails when returning if he was successful in killing the Minotaur.
