Prayer to Theseus The Minotaur Slayer
I Sing of Theseus the Mighty Slayer of the Minotaur, Son on Poseidon, your courage and will shows no bounds. Son of Aethra and Lord Poseidon God of the Seas From the Depths of the Labyrinth did the Mighty Minotaur , Son of Pasiphae wife of King Minos slumber and roam the dark corridors, Waiting, waiting, waiting for his fate. Yet courage did you show when you confronted the Minotaur and slay it with your sword and with Ariadne's string were you able to find your way out of the maze, Yet fate was not kind, for you forgot to hoist the white sails and alas hoisted the Black to which your father plummeted to his death upon seeing them. You who freed the Athenian peoples young maidens and youths form their terrible fate Only to be crowned victorious and be crowned king of it;s people and the Great City of Athens Hail to you King of Athens Hail to The Minotaur Slayer Hail to The Freer of Athens To you we ask for your blessings and favour upon this day Hail Theseus
