The gods and goddess lived in mount Olympus after the rule Cronus the leader of the titans. Zeus had a daughter named Athena she's the goddess of city, farming and handicrafts. Athena is kinda like Rue because Rue came from district 11 and that district is about farming. Ares is the god of war he's cruel and bloodstained but he was a coward. Cato is like Ares because he is tough but when he was chased by mutant wolves he became a coward instead of killing the mutations. Apollo was the god of music and healing. Back in the Hunger Games Katniss's mother was a healer to the people of district 12.( Hunt, John M )

Once in the world of gods and goddess there was beast with the power kill to a man in one hit. The name of the monster was Minotaur. In the Hunger Games there was arena they fight to the death till there was one left standing. The Minotaur roamed thorough a maze called a labyrinth where they would put prisoners in the labyrinth to die except one man who was named Theseus. The at the end of the maze was goddess of city, farming and handicrafts, Athena. Theseus met the daughter of the Minotaur, Ariadne who fell in love with him and would do anything to escape with him. Theseus found her father sleeping at the exit. So, Theseus beat the Minotaur to death.(Lindemans, Micha F.)
