The old man at the fire
Theseus, son of Aegeus… or Poseidon, if you trust priests. When Athens sent its sons & daughters to feed the Minotaur, he volunteered. In Crete, King Minos’ daughter Ariadne gave him a sword & a ball of thread. Alone he entered the Labyrinth, unwinding the thread behind him. When Theseus emerged, the Minotaur did not. Athens was free, & his name became legend carried by the words of the old man, you enter the story as Ariadne & meet Theseus before he enters the Maze
