Among other _WOMAN_ he saw Cassandra, a young and beautiful priestess, who worked at the temple.Apollo _IMPRESS_ by her grace.The minute Apollo saw Cassandra, he _FALL_ in love. It was love at first sight. Apollo offered her a deal. He would give Cassandra the gift of being able to see the future, if she gave him a kiss. Cassandra agreed. With a laugh, Apollo gave her the gift, _DREAM_ about the reward. Instantly, Cassandra could see the future. She saw Apollo, in the future, helping the Greeks destroy Troy. When Apollo bent his head to gently kiss her, she angrily spat in his face. Apollo got very angry. He _NOT/CAN_ take away his gift, but he was able to add to it. So, whatever Cassandra said, no one would believe her. That was his second gift. When Cassandra begged her people in Troy to watch out for the Trojan horse, they _NOT BELIEVE_ her. And that was the end of Troy. Apollo and CassandraIn ancient Greece there were many temples built for Apollo. He was the god of youth, beauty, music and poetry.

People were afraid of this strange and terrible beast _LIVE_ in a deep, dark Labyrinth on the island of Crete.The Labyrinth _ DESIGN _ by the cunning and ingenious mind of Daedalus.Daedalus was a brilliant architect and inventor – in fact, he was so brilliant that King Minos of Crete _ NOT WANT _ to let him go back to his home in Athens.Instead, he _KEEP_ him as a prisoner.Daedalus lived with his son Icarus in a tower of the palace, and King Minos made him invent weapons of war that would make his army and navy even _POWERFUL_ than they already were.Although Daedalus and Icarus had every comfort that they _CAN_ ask for, the father longed to return home to Athens. Icarus hardly remembered his city, but he too wanted to leave, because he longed to run and play in the open, rather than be in a tower all day.Daedalus looked out over the waves of the sea, and he realised that even if they managed to slip out of the tower and find a little boat, they would not be able to sail far. One of King Minos’s _SEAMAN_ would spot and catch them very soon. MinotaurThe legends of ancient Greece tell us about the half man-half bull called the Minotaur.
