Answer: Then she gave him a sharp sword, and hid it underneath his cloak, telling him that with it alone could he hope to slay the Minotaur.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Cruel Tribute" is a story of the Greek city of Athens having to sacrifice some of their best youths to the King of Crete, Minos, who would then put them in a labyrinth with the Minotaur to be devoured.
Prince Theseus demanded that he go to the labyrinth and slay the Minotaur.
Princess Ariadne's advances the plot of the story through her action of giving Theseus a sword with which he uses to kill the Minotaur and save his Athenian companions.
