Answer:

The correct answer are holding a yearly drawing, sacrificing people from the town every year.

Explanation:

Theseus and the Minotaur is part of Greek mythology and it tells the story if King Minos, king of Crete, who kept the Minotaur in a maze. King Minos demanded seven young people -from Athens- every year so they the Minotaur could be fed. After some time, Theseus, son of the King of Athens, asked his father why people were sent every year and no one saw them back; his father mentions that they served as food for the Minotaur, so they were sacrificed. Another possible match between Shirley Jackson's story and the Greek myth, is that Theseus was given some black sails by his father, hoping to see them changed for some white ones when Theseus would come back, on the other hand, Theseus is not a winer but a volunteer.
