1. This is a story of bravery, courage and friendship.
This story is based on a classical book named "The odyssey", written by
Homer, but it is not the same story...
"Ulises was a very strong and prudent Greek King who participated in the
Troy War with other Greek Kings.He was the King of Ithaca, an island in
the west of Greece.
After Troy War, Ulises began a trip by boat to his home in Ithaca, where
his wife, Helena and his son, Telémaco, were waiting for him.When Ulises
and his warriors were travelling through the sea, the current carried them
towards the coast of a little island and it broke his boat.
In the island, they found rocks, high and big trees and very dark
caverns.The island, in other times, was a kingdom until that Minotaur, sent
by Poseidon, came and killed his king. The inhabitants of the island were
terrified bythe Minotaur.
Poseidon, king of the sea and principal enemy of Ulises, was the father of
Minotaur. The Minotaur was a creature with half human body and half beast
body.
People asked Ulises for help to fight against the Minotaur and in
compensation, the village would help him to continue with his travel.
Poseidon ordered the Minotaur to attack Ulises and his men, and a terrible
fight began. The beast threw rocks and trees against the men and even
took two of them and ate them. As the Minotaur couldn´t kill Ulises, the
anger of Poseidon became even more dangerous and he sent lightings and
storms over the island too.
The Minotaur called other malefic creatures like Orcus to fight against
Ulises. Ulises fought with his best sword, which had been created by
goddesses of Olimpus. It is said that it was an epic battle between Ulises,
his men and the Minotaur. The warriors fought with bravery, courage and
next to each other.
Finally, Ulises and his warriors won. When they killed the Minotaur, Orcus
escaped.
The peace came again on the island and Ulises and his men were helped by
the inhabitants to continue his travel to Itaca”.
This story teaches us that friendship and bravery are enough to defeat any
beast.
