Lingua Latina: Cap. XXV Summary

Summary:
Quintus, who still lies in bed, orders Syra to tell him a story, so she tells him the story of the Minotaur, whose head was of a bull and whose body was of a man. It lived on the island of Crete in a labyrinth. Theseus, the son of the King of Athens, entered this labyrinth and killed the Minotaur with his sword.
