That they have white lines which continuously and unbrokenly encircle the head is the reason why convergent ladybug beetles are called convergent. The adjective in question makes up part of the ladybird's scientific name -- Hippodamia convergens -- because it describes a continuous, unbroken meeting from two different directions. The white lines demarcating the head as well as the two small white slashes on the top of head serve as charmingly, cleanly colorful contrasts to the insect in question's otherwise black and orange coloration.
Theseus is most well known for facing the Minotaur. Theseus also faced the Crommyonian Sow and battled Centaurs at he wedding of his friend Pirithous and Hippodamia.

The Olympics started when Princess Hippodamia of Elis had to get married. Her father, King Oenomaus told her that any man who wanted to marry her had to win a race against the team of magical horses given to him by Ares (the god of war). If they did not win the would be executed. Pelops decided to try his luck and as soon as he saw Hippodamia he fell into a bright pit of love. Hippodamia also loved him and bribed the stable boy to loosen on of the nuts on one her fathers chariot wheels. The stable boy hated the King because he had murdered his brother ;instead of loosening one nut he took them all out and replaced them with wax ones. The race started and they were neck and neck, slowly Pelops drew ahead as the wax nuts melted. Then the King was thrown to the ground. The princess was so upset that Pelops decided to hold games at Olympia, with prizes of gold and jewel for the winners. The gods themselves looked down from Olimpia and saw how good the games were. Hermes was sent down with a message that they were to be held every 4 years for heroes and heroines to prove the strength and stamina to mortals and gods alike!
