Ariadne and the Minotaurs

Ariadne is the central character of the myth of the minotaur, even if this heroic act on her part was poorly rewarded because Theseus unscrupulously abandoned her after leaving the labyrinth.

Here, Ariadne walks the labyrinth using her thread so as not to get lost to find Theseus. Delivered, Theseus leaves the labyrinth without waiting for Ariadne.

The minotaurs kill Ariadne. Theseus kills the minotaurs.

You can direct Ariadne or Theseus (when delivered) using the arrows. But the characters act independently if you do nothing.

The annoying music is very freely inspired by the opera Ariadne auf Naxos, by Richard Strauss.
