Spanish term
se presentó voluntario..
Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about Mythology.
Is okay to translate it as he presented himself as a volunteer for sacrifice to the beast?
It's about the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
Here is the full paragraph:
Fueron muchos los que intentaron acabar con aquel monstruo, pero ninguno logró salir de aquel laberinto con vida. Hasta que un valiente soldado, el príncipe de Atenas, se presentó voluntario como sacrificio a la bestia, pero con la intención secreta de terminar con el Minotauro....

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.
