which she had made to save him, and Theseus promised her that, wher
he had slain the Minotaur, he would carry her away with him to Athens
where she should live with him always. Then she gave him a sharp sword,
and hid it underneath his cloak, telling him that with it alone could he hope
to slay the Minotaur.
"And here is a ball of silken thread," she said. "As soon as you go into the
Labyrinth where the monster is kept, fasten one end of the thread to the
stone doorpost, and then unwind it as you go along. When you have slain
the Minotaur, you have only to follow the thread and it will lead you back
to the door. In the meanwhile I will see that your ship is ready to sail, and
then I will wait for you at the door of the Labyrinth." Theseus thanked the
beautiful princess and promised her again that if he should live to go back
to Athens she should go with him and be his wife. Then with a prayer to
Athena, Ariadne hastened away.
