Hunger games compare and contrast to Theseus and the Minotaur

Comparisons

There are many comparisons between the hunger games and Theseus and the minotaur. These include tradition and sacrifice to a higher power. For example, it is a tradition to the districts to sacrifice a male and female team to the capitols to fight in a gory bloodbath. In theseus and the minotaur, the athenians tradition is to sacrifice 14 kids and teens to Crete because they were beaten in war.  The other similarity is that they are sacrificing the kids and teens to a higher power. In the hunger games, the capitol beat the districts in the revolution and as a sign to remember these awful times the capitol created the hunger games. In theseus and the minotaur, the reason why the Athenians have to sacrifice the children to Crete is so that they do not get attacked again.
