If a writer were writing a modern-day story based on the Theseus myth featured in "Cruel Tribute,” what would the story’s plot most likely include?

Question

a young man beginning a political career in hopes of one day becoming head of the country
a young man learning the family business so he can take over for his father when he retires
a young man preparing to take a trip around the world with his friends and his family
a young man searching through a new city, trying to find his lost friends before they are harmed

Answer 1

The most likely plot based on the Theseus myth featured in "Cruel Tribute" would be a young man searching through a new city, trying to find his lost friends before they are harmed. This mirrors the original myth where Theseus travels to Crete to confront the Minotaur and save the youths who are sacrificed to it. In a modern-day reimagining, the protagonist would navigate through a dangerous city or society to rescue his friends and confront the oppressive forces that threaten them.
