Exploring Myth: Theseus and the Minotaur

FROM THE PRODUCERS OF 'DUEL OF THE SEMINARIANS...'

Join narrator Nigel Cranberry (a.k.a. Mike) on his journey though the ancient mythological story of the yarn-toting Theseus, the courageous Minotaur-slayer from Athens. Learn about Minos, Ariadne, Paciphae, Asterious (the Minotaur), King Aegeus and everyone's favorite hero, Theseus (played by Brian).

This was actually a video we made for our Mythology class. We tried to have fun with ideas from Peter Ustanov videos and videos with Bill Moyers interviewing Joseph Campbell on George Lucas' ranch.

argggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! was doing research on this myth, so sat through the laboured depiction of the tale for some insight at the end of this vid that i had overlooked, and yes i had overlooked the take they had taken. It would be useful if i was goin to entitle my reseach " a nerd's eye view of ancient greece" just checked vid is15 minutes long, thats how much time i have invested in these effin geeky schoolboys. bet they got an A* too 4 this goin on current exam gradings for gcses & a levels

@bryngOneOn - I hope you realize this was more of a parody... meant for fun—should be apparent by about 10 seconds in, I would think ;-)

And, yes, we did get an A.

What a retarded depiction of Bill Moyers...a man who will leave a legacy to eclipse all of your families impact combined. I won't even get into the genius Joseph Cambell. You are lame.
