Question
Description acceptable. According to Plutarch's Life of this object's owner, Scirus of Salamis was chosen to control this object due to Athenians lacking the skills at the time. Executions were banned during an annual tradition of taking this particular object to Delos, which delayed Socrates's death according to Phaedo. Plutarch recounts how this object was preserved for that tradition by having (*) "decaying" parts of it replaced. The Aegean Sea is named for a king who killed himself after he saw parts of this object colored black. This object was diverted during a storm to Naxos, where its owner abandoned Ariadne. For 10 points, a philosophical thought experiment concerns what object used by a minotaur-slayer to reach Crete? ■END■
ANSWER: ship of Theseus [accept any answer indicating the boat that Theseus sailed to Crete; accept answers like Theseus's sails that reference part of a boat; prompt on ship or boat alone]
