added Philadelphos.Philadelphos continued "Indeed. Theseus grew up and became a brave young man. He managed to move the rock and got his father's arms. His mother then told him the
truth about who his father was and how he should take the weapons back to him. Theseus had to go to Athens and could chooes to go by sea, which was the safe
way and by land, following a dangerous path with thieves all the way long. Young, brave and ambitious, Theseus decided to go to Athens by land."
"He did not reveal his true identity. He was welcomed by Aegeas who was suspicious about the stranger who came to Athens. But when he saw his own shield and sword he recognised his true son."
noted Philadelphos.Philadelphos added "At the time, Athens had to pay a horrible tax to Crete. Six young men and young women had to be sent to Crete.

mused Philadelphos."In Greek mythology, Hippolyte was an Amazonian queen who possessed a girdle given to her by Ares. One of Heracles' Twelve Labors was to retrieve this girdle.

He had succeeded but, at the last moment Theseus, who was his traveling companion, kidnapped Hippolyte's sister, Antiope. The Amazons attacked because Hera had spread a rumor that Heracles was there to attack them or to kidnap Hippolyte, but Heracles and Theseus escaped with the girdle and Antiope, whom Theseus later married.

Galene continued "I would note:
of Athens, as Solon is Athens' primary political figure of
legend. He was responsible for the synoikismos ("dwelling together")
—the political unification of Attica
Attica, represented in his journey of labours—under Athens. Because he was the unifying king, Theseus built and occupied a palace on the fortress of the Acropolis that may have been similar to the palace excavated in Mycenae. Pausanias reports that after the synoikismos, Theseus established a cult of Aphrodite Pandemos ("Aphrodite of
all."
Galene smiled "Theseus's best friend was Pirithous, Prince of the Lapiths. Pirithous had heard stories of Theseus's courage and strength in battle but wanted proof, so he rustled Theseus's herd of cattle and drove it from Marathon, and Theseus set out in pursuit. Pirithous took up his arms and the pair met to do battle, but were impressed with each other they took an oath of friendship and joined the hunt for the Calydonian Boar. Later, Pirithous was preparing to marry Hippodamia. The centaurs were guests at the wedding feast, but got drunk and tried to abduct the women, including Hippodamia. The Lapiths won the ensuing battle."
"Let us not forget Theseus and Pirithous meet Hades."
smiled Galene.
"Theseus and Pirithous pledged themselves to marry daughters of Zeus. Theseus chose Helen and together they kidnapped her, intending to keep her until she was old enough to marry. Pirithous chose Persephone. They left Helen with Theseus's mother, Aethra, and travelled to the underworld, domain of Persephone and her husband, Hades. Hades pretended to offer them hospitality and laid out a feast, but as soon as the two visitors sat down, snakes coiled around their feet and held them fast. Or, in some versions, the stone itself grew and attached itself to their thighs."
continued Galene."Heracles freed Theseus but the earth shook when he attempted to liberate Pirithous, and Pirithous had to remain in Hades for eternity. When Theseus returned to Athens, the Dioscuri had taken Helen and Aethra back to Sparta. When Heracles had pulled Theseus from the chair where he was trapped, some of his thigh stuck to it; this explains the supposedly lean thighs of Athenians."
commented Galene.
"But what of Birth and the six "labors" of Theseus?"
said Galene.
Galene mused "'Theseus

In response to this,
Heroides of Kea commented "Theseus's best friend was Pirithous, prince of the Lapiths. Pirithous had heard stories of Theseus's courage and strength in battle but wanted proof, so he rustled Theseus's herd of cattle and drove it from Marathon, and Theseus set out in pursuit. Pirithous took up his arms and the pair met to do battle, but were so impressed with each other they took an oath of friendship and joined the hunt for the Calydonian Boar. In Iliad I, Nestor numbers Pirithous and Theseus "of heroic fame" among an earlier generation of heroes of his youth, "the strongest men that Earth has bred, the strongest men against the strongest enemies, a savage mountain-dwelling tribe whom they utterly destroyed." No trace of such an oral tradition, which Homer's listeners would have recognized in Nestor's allusion, survived in literary epic. Later, Pirithous was preparing to marry Hippodamia, wife of Pirithous. The centaurs were guests at the wedding feast, but got drunk and tried to abduct the women, including Hippodamia. The Lapiths won the ensuing battle."
In response to this,
Telemachos of Kalymnos said "a combination of divine as well as mortal characteristics in his nature. When Aethra became pregnant, Aegeus decided to return to Athens. But before leaving, he buried his sandals, shield, and sword under a huge rock and told her that when their son grew up, he should move the rock, if he were hero enough, and take the weapons for himself as evidence of his royal parentage. At Athens, Aegeus was joined by Medea, who had fled Corinth after slaughtering the children she had borne Jason, and had taken up a new consort in Aegeus.

Epaphroditos of Amorgos said "Theseus liked too do many ladies when he was King of Athens, one incident is that one slave girl refused to sleep with him, because she was the Goddess Hera, Hera then punished Theseus by later trying to kill her by when any lady saw him tey would see the minotaurs head."

Olympos of Milos commented "King Minos of Crete had waged war with the Athenians and was succesful. He then demanded that 7 Athenian boys and 7 Athenian girls to be sent to Crete to be devoured by the Minotaur, who was half man half beast. If you managed to slay the minotaur then the sacrifices would never happen again.This happened every nine years. Then the third time that it happened, Theseus the son of the King of Athens, Aegeus, volunteered to go and slay the monster. He took the place of one of the youths and set off with a black sail, promising to his father that if he was succesful he would return with a white sail. They were brought onto the island of Crete and sent to the minotaures laborinth. Before this all happened King Minos' daughter Ariadne, fell in love with Theseus and she did whatevere she could to help Theseus. She gave him a ball of string to find his way back through the maze and also a sword to defeat the Minotaur."
Olympos of Milos mused "Theseus was succesful and managed to escape off of the island with all of the children including Ariadne. On the return home Theseus abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos."
"The next day Ariadne noticed that Theseus had only used her and she cursed him. The curse was that he would forget to put up the white sail on his journey home. Theseus did so and when his father was on the look out for his son, he saw the black flag and comitted suicide by jumping off of the cliff. Theseus and the 14 children returned safely."

Dorotheos said "I don't think we can say Theseus (Greek ) was a legendary king of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon, with whom Aethra lay in one night (By some accounts, this was presented as a rape). Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus or Heracles, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order. As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Ionian founding hero, considered by Athenians as their own great reformer. His name comes from the same root as ("thesmos"), Greek for institution. He was responsible for the synoikismos ("dwelling together")—the political unification of Attica under Athens, represented in his journey of labours. Because he was the unifying king, Theseus built and occupied a palace on the fortress of the Acropolis that may have been similar to the palace excavated in Mycenae. Pausanias reports that after the synoikismos, Theseus established a cult of Aphrodite Pandemos ("Aphrodite of all the People") and Peitho on the southern slope of the Akropolis."

On their wedding night, Aethra waded through the sea to the island Sphairia that rests close to the coast and lay there with Poseidon (god of the sea, and of earthquakes). By the understanding of sex in antiquity, the mix of semen gave Theseus a combination of divine as well as mortal characteristics in his nature; such double fatherhood, one father immortal, one mortal, was a familiar feature of Greek heroes. When Aethra became pregnant, Aegeus decided to return to Athens. But before leaving, he buried his sandals and sword under a huge rock and told her that when their son grew up, he should move the rock, if he were hero enough, and take the weapons for himself as evidence of his royal parentage. At Athens, Aegeus was joined by Medea, who had fled Corinth after slaughtering the children she had borne Jason, and had taken up a new consort in Aegeus. Priestess and consort together represented the old order at Athens."

Philotheos of Hydra mused "In another version, Pasiphae, wife of King Minos of Crete, had several children before the minotaur. The eldest of these, Androgeus, set sail for Athens to take part in the Pan-Athenian games which were held there every five years. Being strong and skillful, he did very well, winning some events outright. He soon became a crowd favourite, much to the resentment of the Pallantids who were then living at the Royal Court."
"The Pallantids were the nephews of King Aegeus, and were extremely cocky and self-opinionated. For years they were unwelcome there, fighting in the streets and lounging around the palace. Being jealous of Androgeus' success, they set an ambush one evening as he walked back to his lodgings after competing for the day. He fought bravely, but was heavily outnumbered. They killed him and left his body in the street."
added Philotheos of Hydra."When King Minos had heard of what befell his son, he ordered the whole of the Cretan fleet to set sail for Athens. In the morning, the whole town was surrounded. Minos asked Aegeus for his son's assassins, and if they were to be handed to him, the town would be spared. However, not knowing who they were, King Aegeus surrendered the whole town to Minos' mercy. His retribution was as follows: At the end of every Great Year (seven years), the seven most courageous youths and the seven most beautiful maidens were to board a boat. That boat would leave with them and set sail back to Crete. Suffice to say that they would never be seen again."
added Philotheos of Hydra.Philotheos of Hydra whispered "It was 21 years before Theseus appeared in the town. However, his reputation preceeded him, having travelled along the notorious coastal road from Troezen and slain some of the most feared bandits there. It was not long before the Pallantids caught on to the fact that their days would be numbered if they did not get rid of Theseus. So they set a trap for him. 25 of them would march on the town from one side while the other 25 lay in wait on the other near a place called Gargettus in ambush. The plan was that once Theseus, Aegeus and the palace gaurds had been forced out the front, the other half would surprise them from behind. However, Theseus was not fooled.

"this is sort of off topic but sinse posiden is partly his father theseus had a very large penis his parents were amazed at how big it was theseus named his shlong capp'n furry."
ventured Agathe of Astypalaia.
"We should not say On the third occasion, Theseus volunteered to slay the monster. He took the place of one of the youths and set off with a black sail, promising to his father, Aegeus, that if successful he would return with a white sail. Like the others, Theseus was stripped of his weapons when they sailed. On his arrival in Crete, King Minos' daughter Ariadne, out of love for Theseus, gave him a ball of string so he could find his way out. That night, Ariadne escorted Theseus to the Labyrinth, and Theseus promised that if he returned from the Labyrinth he would take Ariadne with him. As soon as Theseus entered the Labyrinth, he tied one end of the ball of string to the door post and brandished his sword which he had kept hidden from the guards inside his tunic. Theseus followed Daedalus' instructions given to Ariadne; go forwards, always down and never left or right. Theseus came to the heart of the Labyrinth and also upon the sleeping Minotaur. A tremendous fight then occurred. Theseus overpowered the Minotaur with his strength and the slit the beast's throat with his sword."
whispered Agathe of Astypalaia.Agathe of Astypalaia mused "We should not say Theseus used the string to escape the Labyrinth and managed to escape with all of the young Athenians and Ariadne. On the return journey Theseus abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos. The next day Ariadne cursed him to forget to change the black sail to white. In other versions of the story, the god Dionysus appeared to Theseus and told him that he had already chosen Ariadne for his bride, and to abandon her on Naxos, a favorite island. In another version, Ariadne died from illness on the journey home. In Theseus' grief, he forgot to change the sails, and seeing the black sail, Aegeus committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea (hence named Aegean). Theseus and the other Athenian youths returned safely."
Zoilos of Skyros nodded and smiled "You don't mean '
Athens, he did not reveal his true identity immediately. Aegeus gave him
hospitality'. You mean '
the bronx, he did not reveal his true identity immediately. Aegeus gave him
a gun and he went out and hustled and blew mo fu to dust then he owned every sq foot o that ghetto town'."
"We should not say Phaedra, Theseus's second wife, bore Theseus two sons, Demophon and Acamas. While these two were still in their infancy, Phaedra fell in love with Hippolytus, Theseus's son by Hippolyta. According to some versions of the story, Hippolytus had scorned Aphrodite to become a devotee of Artemis, so Aphrodite made Phaedra fall in love with him as punishment. He rejected her out of chastity.
."
said Xanthos of Paros."I don't think we can say Alternatively, in Euripides' version, Hippolytus, Phaedra's nurse told Hippolytus of her mistress's love and he swore he would not reveal the nurse as his source of information. To ensure that she would die with dignity, Phaedra wrote to Theseus on a tablet claiming that Hippolytus had raped her before hanging herself. Theseus believed her and used one of the three wishes he had received from Poseidon against his son. The curse caused Hippolytus' horses to be frightened by a sea monster, usually a bull, and drag their rider to his death. Artemis would later tell Theseus the truth, promising to avenge her loyal follower on another follower of Aphrodite. In a third version, after Phaedra told Theseus that Hippolytus had raped her, Theseus killed his son himself, and Phaedra committed suicide out of guilt, for she had not intended for Hippolytus to die.
."
added Xanthos of Paros.Xanthos of Paros continued "In yet another version, Phaedra simply told Theseus Hippolytus had raped her and did not kill herself, and Dionysus sent a wild bull which terrified Hippolytus's horses."
Xanthos of Paros insisted "You are mistaken to say '
from the Asterion's point-of-view, in a short story, "La Casa de Asterion" ("The House of Asterion"), which depends for its full effect on the reader's not
knowing the identity of the narrator'. I think you mean 'in a short story, "La Casa de Asterion" ("The House of Asterion"), which depends for its full effect on the reader's not
realizing the identity of the narrator

Zenon of Kasos said "NOTE: According to some stories Aegeus experienced many fertility problems. He built temples to Aphrodite, but still had no luck. He then traveled to Corthins where he met Medea. She provided her with a fertility potion in exchange for him allowing her to be a refugee in Athens. The night Aegeus drank the potion he got incredibly drunk and raped Aethra. Later that night Aethra was also raped by Poseidon. Aegeus woke up that morning and found himself in Aethra's bed. He then gave her the instruction for the child and left for Athens."
Alexis of Tilos noted "You don't mean '
although it is not said whether he cut
Procrustes to size or stretched him
to fit'. You mean 'cut
off his feet,and the decapitated him'."
Galene said "You don't mean '

Plutarch's sources, not all of whose texts have survived independently, included Pherecydes (mid-sixth century), Demon (ca 300), Philochorus and Cleidemus (both fourth century).
."
Arius of Kea ventured "Julio Cortázar retells the slaying of the Minotaur in his play Los Reyes ("The Kings"). In it, Theseus is portrayed negatively and unheroic, and the narrative focuses on the Minotaur, who is in love with his half-sister Ariadne."
Arius of Kea added "Theseus appears as a boss in the video game God of War 2. In it, Kratos must fight Theseus, who commands a series of lightning-based strikes and has the ability to summon minotaur minions. Kratos ends up impaling Theseus with his own spear and proceeds to repeatedly smash his head with a door."
Arius of Kea shouted "Theseus is also featured in the video game Age of Mythology as a unique infantry unit."
Arius of Kea added "The TV movie Helen of Troy (2003) features Stellan Skarsgård in the role of Theseus."
Galene whispered "You don't mean 'name Theseion

Sensing no trouble or malice, the Amazons decided to openly welcome Theseus by having the queen, Hippolyta, go aboard his ship bearing gifts. After boarding the ship, Theseus left to Athens, claiming Hippolyta as his own bride. This sparked a war between the Amazons and the Athenians. Hippolyta eventually bore a son for Theseus, whom they named Hippolytus(Ἱππόλυτος). Theseus lost his love for Hippolyta, however, once he had cast his eye on Phaedra."

"King Minos of Crete had waged war with the Athenians and was successful.

hissed Aniketos of Kythira."On the third occasion, Theseus volunteered to slay the monster. He took the place of one of the youths and set off with a black sail, promising to his father, Aegeus, that if successful he would return with a white sail. Like the others, Theseus was stripped of his weapons when they sailed. On his arrival in Crete, King Minos' daughter Ariadne, out of love for Theseus, gave him a ball of string so he could find his way out. That night, Ariadne escorted Theseus to the Labyrinth, and Theseus promised that if he returned from the Labyrinth he would take Ariadne with him. As soon as Theseus entered the Labyrinth, he tied one end of the ball of string to the door post and brandished his sword which he had kept hidden from the guards inside his tunic. Theseus followed Daedalus' instructions given to Ariadne; go forwards, always down and never left or right. Theseus came to the heart of the Labyrinth and also upon the sleeping Minotaur. The beast awoke and a tremendous fight then occurred. Theseus overpowered the Minotaur with his strength and used his sword to stab the beast in the throat."
continued Aniketos of Kythira.Aniketos of Kythira added "Listen to what I say. After decapitating the beast, Theseus used the string to escape the Labyrinth and managed to escape with all of the young Athenians and Ariadne - and her little sister Phaidra too. On the return journey Theseus abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos. In other versions of the story, the god Dionysus appeared to Theseus and told him that he had already chosen Ariadne for his bride, and to abandon her on Naxos, a favorite island. Ariadne then cursed Theseus to forget to change the black sail to white. Seeing a black sail, Theseus' father Aegeus committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea (hence named Aegean). Theseus and the other Athenian youths returned safely. Theseus returned safely back as a king of heroes."

continued Chariclea of Icaria.Chariclea of Icaria added "When King Minos had heard of what befell his son, he ordered the Cretan fleet to set sail for Athens. Minos asked Aegeus for his son's assassins, and if they were to be handed to him, the town would be spared. However, not knowing who they were, King Aegeus surrendered the whole town to Minos' mercy. His retribution was that, at the end of every Great Year (seven solar years), the seven most courageous youths and the seven most beautiful maidens were to board a boat and sent as tribute to Crete, never to be seen again."

But before leaving, he buried his sandals and sword under a huge rock and told her that when their son grew up, he should move the rock, if he were hero enough, and take the tokens for himself as evidence of his royal parentage.

Herais of Lefkada said "Listen to what I say. Theseus (, , , ) was the mythical founder-king of Athens, son of Aethra, and fathered by Aegeus and Poseidon, both of whom Aethra had slept with in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus, or Hercules, all of whom battled and overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious and social order. As Hercules was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Athenian founding hero, considered by them as their own great reformer: his name comes from the same root as ("thesmos"), Greek for institution. He was responsible for the synoikismos ("dwelling together")—the political unification of Attica under Athens, represented emblematically in his journey of labours, subduing highly localized ogres and monstrous beasts. Because he was the unifying king, Theseus built and occupied a palace on the fortress of the Acropolis that may have been similar to the palace that was excavated in Mycenae. Pausanias reports that after the synoikismos, Theseus established a cult of Aphrodite Pandemos ("Aphrodite of all the People") and Peitho on the southern slope of the Acropolis."

of Sphairia that rests close to the coast and lay there with Poseidon (god of the sea and earthquakes). The mix gave Theseus a combination of divine as well as mortal characteristics in his nature; such double fathers

added Phoibos of Milos."Theseus was the son of the Athenian king Aegeus. There was a sword and a pair of shoes placed beneath a stone, (not a bow as the ridiculous movie "Immortals" tells), by Aegeus in a hollow before his son was born. Aegeus said to his Mother that when his son, (if it were a son), was born and he was strong enough to roll away the stone, he could claim the weapons and Aegeus as his Father if he was strong enough to roll away the stone. He easily got the weapons and was told by his Mother that it was time for him to find his Father but he refused to go by sea. It would be too easy and he wanted to be a hero like Hercules. So he went by land to Athens. He did many brave and legendary things on his voyage. But he reached his father in Athens and was proclaimed son of Aegeus. King Minos of Crete, because of an unfortunate deal struck long before, due to the death of his son, Androgeous while trying to kill a bull but being killed by it instead, declared that he would raze the kingdom of Athens to the ground if they did not give him a tribute every nine years of seven virgin women and young men."
said Posidonius of Kythnos."These 14 kids were put into the Labyrinth, (designed by Daedalous, (Father of Iccharus), as a prison for the Minotaur the offspring of King Minos and his wife Pasiphae and a bull)."
added Posidonius of Kythnos."It was time for the tribute and at once Theseus volunteered to be one of those sacrificed. He told Aegeus that if he succeeded in killing the Minotaur he would change the usual black sail of his ship to white on his triumphant voyage home."
noted Posidonius of Kythnos.Posidonius of Kythnos added "When the 14 youths were paraded before the Cretians the daughter of King Minos, Ariadne, fell instantly in love with Theseus. She asked Daedalus how to solve the labyrinth and told Theseus that if he would agree to marry her and bring her back to Athens she would give him the secret of the maze. He secretly wanted to be one of the sacrifices so that he could kill the minotaur and he agreed to Ariadne's deal so that he could find his way out after the beast was killed."
"Her secret was simply a ball of yarn that was let out as Theseus traveled through the labyrinth. When he finally met the Minotaur and killed it, the yarn was followed back to the entrance and he had found his way out victorious."
added Posidonius of Kythnos."He took Ariadne into his ship and headed home for Athens but on the way at the Isle of Naxos there was a problem. Stories differ as to whether he abandoned her or forgot her but he left her on that island later to be claimed by the god Dionysus as his wife. (It is believed that Dionysus cast a spell of forgetfullness on all so that he could steal her away from Theseus.)."
added Posidonius of Kythnos."Whatever the case, the spell of forgetfullness from the Isle of Naxos caused Theseus to forget the promise he had made to his Father to change the sail on his ship from black to white. When King Aegeus saw the black sail approaching he threw himself off the cliffs into the sea in a suicidal fit of sorrow. That sea has since been called the "Aegean" sea."
noted Posidonius of Kythnos."The movie, "Immortal" contains very few of these magical and interesting plot points. It is necessary to include them here for those who want to learn more about the story that is so MIStold in that movie."
yawned Posidonius of Kythnos.
"Pasiphae, wife of King Minos of Crete, had several children before the Minotaur. The eldest of these, Androgeus, set sail for Athens to take part in the Pan-Athenian games which were held there every five years. Being strong and skillful, he did very well, winning some events outright. He soon became a crowd favorite, much to the resentment of the Pallantides and they assassinated him, incurring the wrath of Minos."
continued Alcibiades of Kasos."Listen to what I say. When King Minos had heard of what befell his son, he ordered the Cretan fleet to set sail for Athens. Minos asked Aegeus for his son's assassins, and if they were to be handed to him, the town would be spared. However, not knowing who they were, King Aegeus surrendered the whole town to Minos' mercy. His retribution was that, at the end of every Great Year (seven solar years), the seven most courageous youths and the seven most beautiful maidens were to board a boat and be sent as tribute to Crete, never to be seen again."
insisted Alcibiades of Kasos.Alcibiades of Kasos added "In another version, King Minos of Crete had waged war with the Athenians and was successful. He then demanded that, at nine-year intervals, seven Athenian boys and seven Athenian girls were to be sent to Crete to be devoured by the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster that lived in the Labyrinth created by Daedalus."
"On the third occasion, Theseus volunteered to slay the monster. He took the place of one of the youths and set off with a black sail, promising to his father, Aegeus, that if successful he would return with a white sail. Like the others, Theseus was stripped of his weapons when they sailed. On his arrival in Crete, Ariadne, King Minos' daughter, fell in love with Theseus and, on the advice of Daedalus, gave him a ball of thread. This was so he could find his way out of the Labyrinth. That night, Ariadne escorted Theseus to the Labyrinth, and Theseus promised that if he returned from the Labyrinth he would take Ariadne with him. As soon as Theseus entered the Labyrinth, he tied one end of the ball of string to the door post and brandished his sword which he had kept hidden from the guards inside his tunic. Theseus followed Daedalus' instructions given to Ariadne; go forwards, always down and never left or right. Theseus came to the heart of the Labyrinth and also upon the sleeping Minotaur. The beast awoke and a tremendous fight then occurred. Theseus overpowered the Minotaur with his strength and stabbed the beast in the throat with his sword (according to one scholium, Theseus strangled it on Pindar's Fifth Nemean Ode)."
commented Alcibiades of Kasos.Alcibiades of Kasos added "Listen to what I say. After decapitating the beast, Theseus used the string to escape the Labyrinth and managed to escape with all of the young Athenians and Ariadne as well as her younger sister Phaedra. On the return journey Theseus abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos. In other versions of the story, the god Dionysus appeared to Theseus and told him that he had already chosen Ariadne for his bride, and to abandon her on Naxos, a favorite island. Ariadne then cursed Theseus to forget to change the black sail to white. Seeing a black sail, Theseus' father Aegeus committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea (hence named Aegean). Theseus and the other Athenian youths returned safely. Theseus returned safely back as a king of heroes."

Before leaving, however, he buried his sandals and sword under a huge rock and told Aethra that when their son grew up, he should move the rock, if he were heroic enough, and take the tokens for himself as evidence of his royal parentage. In Athens, Aegeus was joined by Medea, who had fled Corinth after slaughtering the children she had borne Jason, and had taken Aegeus as her new consort. Priestess and consort together represented the old order in Athens."

Eleutherius of Kefalonia added "Aegeus, one of the primordial kings of Athens, found a bride, Aethra who was the daughter of king Pittheus at Troezen, a small city southwest of Athens. On their wedding night, Aethra waded through the sea to the island of Sphairia that rests close to the coast and lay there with Poseidon (god of the sea and earthquakes). The mix gave Theseus a combination of divine as well as mortal characteristics in his nature; such double fathers, one immortal and one mortal, was a familiar feature of Greek heroes.

In Athens, Aegeus was joined by Medea, who had left Corinth after slaughtering the children she had borne Jason, and had taken Aegeus as her new consort. Priestess and consort together represented the old order in Athens."
Eleutherius of Kefalonia continued "Thus Theseus was raised in his mother's land. When Theseus grew up and became a brave young man, he moved the rock and recovered his father's tokens. His mother then told him the truth about his father's identity and that he must take the sword and sandals back to king Aegeus to claim his birthright. To journey to Athens, Theseus could choose to go by sea (which was the safe way) or by land, following a dangerous path around the Saronic Gulf, where he would encounter a string of six entrances to the Underworld, each guarded by a chthonic enemy. Young, brave, and ambitious, Theseus decided to go alone by the land route and defeated a great many bandits along the way."
"At the first site, which was Epidaurus, sacred to Apollo and the healer Asclepius, Theseus turned the tables on the chthonic bandit, the "clubber" Periphetes, who beat his opponents into the Earth, and took from him the stout staff that often identifies Theseus in vase-paintings. At the time, Theseus was called the Mother Dog for many reasons."
ventured Eleutherius of Kefalonia."At the Isthmian entrance to the Underworld was a robber named Sinis, often called "Pityokamptes" (Greek: Πιτυοκάμπτης, "he who bends Pinetrees"). He would capture travelers, tie them between two pine trees that were bent down to the ground, and then let the trees go, tearing his victims apart. Theseus killed him by his own method. He then became intimate with Sinis's daughter, Perigune, fathering the child Melanippus."
added Eleutherius of Kefalonia.Eleutherius of Kefalonia continued "In another deed north of the Isthmus, at a place called Crommyon, he killed an enormous pig, the Crommyonian Sow, bred by an old crone named Phaea. Some versions name the sow herself as Phaea. The Bibliotheca described the Crommyonian sow as an offspring of Typhon and Echidna."
Eleutherius of Kefalonia hissed "Near Megara, an elderly robber named Sciron forced travellers along the narrow cliff-face pathway to wash his feet. While they knelt, he kicked them off the cliff behind them, where they were eaten by a sea monster (or, in some versions, a giant turtle). Theseus pushed him off the cliff."
"Another of these enemies was Cercyon, king at the holy site of Eleusis, who challenged passers-by to a wrestling match and, when he had beaten them, killed them. Theseus beat Cercyon at wrestling and then killed him instead. In interpretations of the story that follow the formulas of Frazer's The Golden Bough, Cercyon was a "year-King", who was required to do an annual battle for his life, for the good of his kingdom, and was succeeded by the victor. Theseus overturned this archaic religious rite by refusing to be sacrificed."
insisted Eleutherius of Kefalonia."The last bandit was Procrustes the Stretcher, who had two beds, one of which he offered to passers-by in the plain of Eleusis. He then made them fit into it, either by stretching them or by cutting off their feet. Since he had two beds of different lengths, no one would fit. Theseus turned the tables on Procrustes, cutting off his legs and decapitating him with his own axe."

, but were so impressed with each other they took an oath of friendship and joined the hunt for the Calydonian Boar.
."
Photine continued "In Iliad I, Nestor numbers Pirithous and Theseus "of heroic fame" among an earlier generation of heroes of his youth, "the strongest men that Earth has bred, the strongest men against the strongest enemies, a savage mountain-dwelling tribe whom they utterly destroyed." No trace of such an oral tradition, which Homer's listeners would have recognized in Nestor's allusion, survived in literary epic. Later, Pirithous was preparing to marry Hippodamia. The centaurs were guests at the wedding feast, but got drunk and tried to abduct the women, including Hippodamia. The Lapiths won the ensuing battle."
Sosigenes of Santorini cried "We should not say
(1282–1234 BC), one of the primordial kings of Athens,
found a bride, Aethra, who was
the daughter of king Pittheus at Troezen, a small city southwest of Athens.
Still without a male heir,
Aegeus asked the oracle at Delphi for advice. Her cryptic words were "Do not loosen the bulging mouth of the wineskin until you have reached the height of Athens, lest you die of grief." Aegeus did not understand the prophecy and was disappointed.
This puzzling oracle forced Aegeus to visit Pittheus, king of Troezen
, who was famous for his wisdom and skill at expounding oracles. Pittheus understood the prophecy and
introduced Aegeus
to his daughter
, Aethra,
when Aegeus was drunk.
."
Sosigenes of Santorini commented "But following the instructions of Athena in a dream, Aethra left the sleeping Aegeus and waded across to the island of Sphairia that lay close to Troezen's shore. There she poured a libation to Sphairos (Pelops' charioteer) and Poseidon, and was possessed by the sea god in the night. The mix gave Theseus a combination of divine as well as mortal characteristics in his nature; such double paternity, with one immortal and one mortal, was a familiar feature of other Greek heroes. After Aethra became pregnant, Aegeus decided to return to Athens. Before leaving, however, he buried his sandals and sword under a huge rock and told Aethra that when their son grew up, he should move the rock, if he were heroic enough, and take the tokens for himself as evidence of his royal parentage. In Athens, Aegeus was joined by Medea, who had left Corinth after slaughtering the children she had borne, and had taken Aegeus as her new consort. Priestess and consort together represented the old order in Athens."

In response to this,
Zenon of Karpathos said "Fictionalized versions of Theseus and the Minotaur appear in the 1960 Italian sword-and-sandal film Teseo contro il Minotauro and the 2006 horror film Minotaur."
Theophania of Crete ventured "Fictionalized versions of Theseus and the Minotaur appear in the 1960 Italian sword-and-sandal film Teseo contro il Minotauro and the 2006 horror film Minotaur."
Euclid of Skiathos said "You don't mean '

That night, Ariadne escorted Theseus to the Labyrinth, and Theseus promised that if he returned from the Labyrinth he would take Ariadne with him. As soon as Theseus entered the Labyrinth, he tied one end of the ball of string to the doorpost and brandished his sword which he had kept hidden from the guards inside his tunic. Theseus followed Daedalus' instructions given to Ariadne: go forwards, always down, and never left or right. Theseus came to the heart of the Labyrinth and
also upon the sleeping Minotaur. The beast awoke and a tremendous fight
then."
added Glaphyra of Psara.Glaphyra of Psara noted "What's that? 'abandoned Ariadne

"You don't mean 'they took an oath of friendship'. I think you mean '

said Dositheus of Psara.Dositheus of Psara insisted "Also according to Ovid, Phaedra, Theseus' wife, felt left out by her husband's love for Pirithous and she used this as an excuse to try to convince her stepson, Hippolytus, to accept being her lover, as Theseus also neglected his son because he preferred to spend long periods with his companion."
Pelagia of Mykonos whispered "You don't mean 'a great abductor of women, and'. You mean '

Anastasia of Skyros continued "We should not say At the first site, which was Epidaurus, sacred to Apollo and the healer Asclepius, Theseus turned the tables on the chthonic bandit, Periphetes, the Club Bearer, who beat his opponents into the Earth, taking from him the stout staff that often identifies Theseus in vase-paintings."
In response to this,
Lysimache of Lesbos commented "You don't mean '

Arsenius of Agios Efstratios nodded and said "Listen to what I say.

whispered Sophos of Karpathos."Theseus appears as an antagonist in the PlayStation 2 video game God of War II by Santa Monica Studio, voiced by Paul Eiding. He is depicted as the gatekeeper of the Sisters of Fate and encounters the main protagonist, Kratos on the Island of Creation, when the latter appears to try and change his fated death at Zeus' hands at the beginning of the game. Theseus provokes and battles Kratos only to meet his end after Kratos brutally slams his head with a door. However, Theseus is presumably restored to life when Kratos travels back in time to fight Zeus, which in essence possibly resets the events that occurred on the Island of Creation."

noted Theron."We should not say | parents = Aegeos, Aethra, Poseidon (occasionally)."
noted Theron."We should not say Theseus is sometimes described as the son of Aegeos, King of Athens, and sometimes as the son of the god Poseidon. He was raised by his mother, Aethra, and, upon discovering his connection to Aegeus, travels overland to Athens, having many adventures on the way. When he reaches Athens, he finds that Aegeos is married to Medea (formerly wife of Jason), who plots against him."

mused Theophila of Astypalaia.Theophila of Astypalaia commented "We should not say The ship had to be maintained in a seaworthy state, for, in return for Theseus's successful mission, the Athenians had pledged to honor Apollo every year henceforth. Thus, the Athenians sent a religious mission to the island of Delos (one of Apollo's most sacred sanctuaries) on the Athenian state galley—the ship itself—to pay their fealty to the god. To preserve the purity of the occasion, no executions were permitted between the time when the religious ceremony began to when the ship returned from Delos, which took several weeks."

Leucippus of Santorini insisted "In the 1898 short novel The Story of Perseus and the Gorgon's Head the mythical story of Theseus is described."
Zoilos of Zakynthos said "I suggest: Book of the New Sun, set in a very distant future, the protagonist reads a story which appears to blend the myth of Theseus with the story of Battle of Hampton Roads - presumably because of a confusion between the Minotaur and the ."

On his way back from Crete, he also stopped on the island of Delos, where, according to Plutarch, “Theseus danced with the young Athenians a dance still performed by the inhabitants of the island, consisting of twisting and twisted movements that reproduce the shapes of the labyrinth. Dicearchos states that this dance is called ‘Crane’.”'."
whispered Kyrillos of Chíos.Theodosia said "Listen to what I say. The video game Hades has Theseus, along with the Minotaur (named Asterius in game) acting as the bosses of Elysium, the third level of the game."

In response to this,
Philomena of Samos said "In the sixth century BCE, an unknown poet composed a now lost epic, the Theseïs, recounting the most famous myths assoicated with Theseus."
Agelaos commented "Let me tell you something. The musical comedy By Jupiter (1942) by Rodgers and Hart, based on the novel The Warrior's Husband by Julian F. Thompson, features Theseus as one of the two leading men, who falls in love with Antiope, in a story radically different from the one in Greek mythology."
