Response/Rating (1-4): 3; I very much enjoy Greek myths. This version was very detailed and the narrator read with enthusiasm, which made it even better! I liked this myth, however, I didn’t like that Prince Theseus marooned Princess Ariadne on the island after all of the help she had given him.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: How would you feel if you were given a very difficult mission?
