About this story
忒修斯杀死米诺陶洛斯是古希腊最有名的英雄故事之一,记载最详细的是公元 1 至 2 世纪普鲁塔克的《忒修斯传》(收在《希腊罗马名人传》里),阿波罗多洛斯的《书库》和奥维德的《变形记》也都讲到过。雅典每九年向克里特送去七个少年、七个少女,公主阿里阿德涅送线团,老国王嘱咐挂白帆,这些情节都来自古代文献;阿里阿德涅后来的命运,普鲁塔克自己就记下了好几种不同说法。这一版把搏斗写得点到为止,结尾的悲伤部分只轻轻带过。
What it teaches
勇气不只是力气大,更是愿意替别人站出来;一个聪明的办法和朋友的帮助,同样能战胜可怕的东西。结尾忘换白帆的情节也提醒孩子:答应别人的事,再高兴也不能忘。

Tips for telling it
- 迷宫那一段可以压低声音、放慢节奏,用手指在桌上“走迷宫”,线团越放越少。
- 讲完可以和孩子画一座迷宫,再用一根毛线试试阿里阿德涅的办法。
- 可以接着听《伊卡洛斯的翅膀》:造迷宫的代达罗斯,后来也被困在了克里特岛上。
Questions people ask
- 爱琴海名字的由来是什么?
- 传说忒修斯出发前和父亲埃勾斯约好,平安归来就把黑帆换成白帆。他回程时忘了换,埃勾斯远远望见黑帆,以为儿子已经死了,悲痛之下跳崖身亡。后来的传说说他坠入的那片海,从此就叫爱琴海(Aegean Sea),意思是“埃勾斯的海”。
- 阿里阿德涅之线是什么意思?
- 指阿里阿德涅交给忒修斯的线团:他把线头拴在迷宫入口,一路放线,打败怪物后顺着线走了出来。后来人们用“阿里阿德涅之线”比喻走出困境、解决复杂难题的线索和方法。
- 米诺陶洛斯是什么怪物?
- 米诺陶洛斯是希腊神话里牛头人身的怪物,被克里特国王米诺斯关在工匠代达罗斯建造的迷宫里。按普鲁塔克的说法,雅典每隔九年要送七个少年和七个少女去克里特,直到英雄忒修斯杀死了它。
