Oh! Brave warrior! I am the keeper of the accursed labyrinth. It is my job to ensure that all who enter are worthy of challenging the maze and the monster.
Tell me, who do you serve? Who is the king you've sworn loyalty to?
Lord Perseus, no doubt!
King Theseus of course!
Erm... he's dead, dude...
...I was-I was testing you. King Theseus!
Wonderful. A simple question, I know, but I had to be sure. Go on, hero. The monster awaits! GOOD LUCK ... you'll need it
A statue of Athena stands in front of you and it comes to life! Athena is suddenly standing before you and you blink, worried you are dreaming. The warrior goddess smiles, hands you a scroll, and with a sweeping gesture points up. You glance upwards towards the ceiling and see polygons carved into the stone, a message for you to decipher. You look towards Athena but she is gone. You open the scroll and see a cipher (code) key.
Did the scroll say to go left, right, or neither? (no caps)

Hesitating, you take the torch from the wall. Can this be true? You walk straight towards the wall and pass through it, like a veil of mist. It was merely an illusion. You take a deep breath and continue forward. The flickering light of the torch makes your journey much easier and you can now examine the workmanship of the labyrinth. Here, Daedulus painstakingly carved more details, with beautiful nymphs and dryads. Despite the horror of his task in trapping the Minotaur, Daedulus must have crafted his work lovingly, pouring forth his attention to the intricate carvings. You come to a another dead end and sigh. You mutter a prayer to Hermes, the God of mischief and wit, pleading for no more trickery.
You turn at the intersection and this time the corridor leads you downward. The stone is now covered with carvings of the Gods. You thank the Gods that you are headed in the right direction. The corridor opens into a large chamber. BUT before you go, you notice a symbol on one of the statues. Investigate the statues to see the symbol.

You drink from the urn. The walls rumble and a door slides open. You admire Daedulus’ cleverness. He must have been blessed by Zeus himself to be such an artist and creator. You see another symbol next to the wall, ρ - Κʹ. You pick up the torch and walk through the doorway.
γʹ
The dampness and chill set in as you descend deeper underground. The flame of your torch still burns bright and you thank Athena for keeping you safe for this battle. On and on you continue in this manner, walking into dead ends, turning and following the thread back to a previous intersection. You think you see a symbol in the darkness and you feel as though you must place your hand to the symbol. Use your torch to find the symbol.
Ahead lies another seemingly dead end. However, you notice four (4) small holes notched into the wall and pebbles piled on the floor. You bend down, pick up one of the stones and notice a symbol etched into them. Grecian numerals. You realize the intricately carved stones must be the work of Hephaestus. You close your eyes and think for a moment and recall the numerals you’ve seen etched on the walls. You place the stones one by one in order: ,Θ - ρ - Κʹ- γʹ
Recall the symbols you last saw. To move past you must answer fast ,Θ - ρ - Κʹ- γʹ 1000s -100s - 10s - 1s HINT:The hyphens don't mean anything
Enter the numbers that the symbols represent in order.
the symbol "ι" is in the 10s place
You carefully step down the stairs and your eyes glitter in the light of golden gilded walls. You know you are close to the Minotaur’s lair. The sword has been by your side and you grasp the handle and utter a prayer to Zeus. You make your way through the ornate corridor, even the ground is no longer dirt but tiled and muffle the sound of your sandal shoed feet. Suddenly, you come to the final chamber. It is a large, square room, gilded in solid gold. In the center of the chamber is a sun dial on a stone platform. A statue of Apollo, the Sun God, looms over it.
Inlaid in the golden wall are the following words: To find the beast that lies within this challenge you must first begin a test of knowledge. A matter of degrere will allow you to be free.
On the floor next to the dial are carved circles with directions: 360° clockwise 180° counter clockwise 90° clockwise 540° clockwise The dial is pointing straight ahead of you, towards the north wall. You take the dial in both hands and turn it. It is heavy but moves.
After moving the dial, which way is it now facing?
