Teseo dio la vuelta a otra esquina,

Non-PRO Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Literature.
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Latin American Spanish into American English.

Translator colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about Mythology. Is okay to translate it as Theseus turned his side to another corner?

It's about the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.

I hope that all of you are healthy and safe from Covid19.

Here is the full paragraph for your review:

Teseo dio la vuelta a otra esquina, y a otra más, siempre hacia adelante y hacia abajo, deshaciendo el ovillo. Hasta que oyó a la bestia. El Minotauro poseía la fuerza de un toro y la astucia de un hombre y conocía cada rincón de sus dominios...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Theseus turned another corner,

Example sentence:

A little ways past the dragon we turned another corner and right in front of

And, I stayed curious – every time I went around another corner there was something else that made me want to carry on.
