Question

Read the passage from Theseus.

Of all his adventures, the one for which Theseus is best known is his confrontation with the Minotaur on the island of Crete. The king of Crete, Minos, was the son of a god, Jupiter, and a human, Europa. The Minotaur, a fearsome beast that was part man, part bull, was born to Minos’s wife. The story went that King Minos was once given a white bull to sacrifice to Poseidon, but the bull was so beautiful he decided to sacrifice another bull instead. In revenge, Poseidon caused King Minos's wife, Pasiphaë, to fall madly in love with the white bull. The Minotaur was their offspring. As it grew older, it grew wilder and fed on humans, so King Minos had him confined in a labyrinth built by the great artisan, Daedalus.

The passage most supports the conclusion that

most Greeks had bold characters.

most Greeks had mixed parentage.
the Greek people valued respect.
