The Hunger Games
In the Greek myth, Theseus and many other young people from the city of Athens were sent as tribute ( human sacrificial offering) to The King Minos in Crete. The king then turned them over to the minotaur a murderous beast that was half man and half bull. This Beast lived in a maze or labyrinth. Theseus killed the minotaur and saved countrymen. This story relates back to The Hunger Games. Her character in this movie relates back and is inspired by the famous Amazon warriors and Atlanta the great female runner of Greek Myth. Atlanta is a character in Greek Mythology is a virgin huntress, is unwilling to marry and is loved by the Hero Meleager. Katniss also recalls Artemis goddess of hunt because her favourite weapon of choice is a bow and arrow.
