When Theseus entered the city and
walk on
the road, everyone wondered
who is a tall and beautiful young man
that's. But the fame of
his deeds have preceded him, and soon
whispered that this is a hero
who killed the robbers in
mountains and have been struggling with
Cercyon in Eleusis and has captured
Procrustes in his sneaky trap
by oneself.
"Don't tell us anything
as in
that!" said some handyman
meat driving a cart
they are full of cargo
market place. "The boy is more suitable
singing sweet songs to
the women rather than fight the robbers and
wrestling with the giant."
"See the black hair
the silk!" word one.
"And his face
childish!" word
the other.
"And his long coat
dangling around
his feet!" yang
thirdly.
"And sandals
the gold!" word
fourthly.
"Ha ha!" laughingly
first; "I
bet he never raised
a ten pound load in his life. Think
people like that when he
throw old Sciron off the cliff! Bullshit
it's empty!"
Theseus heard all the talk
this is when he
walk, and it doesn't make it
a little angry; but he did not come to
Athena to fight with
butcher. Without speaking a word
also, he immediately walked to
the cart ahead, and, before
the driver thought, though,
holding a slaughtered cow that is being transported
go to the market, and throw it
high up the houses to the garden in the
outside. . Then he did
same thing with the ox in the carriage
second, third, and fourth, and, and,
turn around, continue on his way, and
leaving the butcher
stupefied looking at him, silent, on the street.
He climbed the stairs leading to
hilltop
it's a steep rock, and its heart
it skipped a beat in his chest as he stood up
on the threshold of his father's palace.
"Where
the king?" tanyanya
watchman.
"You can't see
king,"
the answer is; "but
I'll take you to his nephew."
The man led the way to the hall
party, and in
there Theseus saw fifty
his cousin sat around the table, and ate and
drink and have fun; and
there was the sound of a debauchery in the hall, singer
singing and playing, and girls
the boy danced, and the prince was half drunk
shouting and cursing. Moments
Theseus stood in the doorway, frowning
his eyebrows and clenched his teeth
because of the anger he felt, one of the
visitors saw it, and
shouting:
"See the tall man on the verge
the door! What
what does he want here?"
"Yes, the girl in face
stranger," said the
another, "what do you want
in here?"
"I'm here" said
Theseus, "to
asking for hospitality that never
rejected by people of race
we're."
"We don't refuse either,"
exclaims
them. "Come in, and eat
and drink and be our guest."
"I'm going in" said
Theseus, though,
"but I'll be a guest
raja. Where is he?"
"It is the king" said
one of
his cousin. "He is
relax, and we rule as
his replacement."
But Theseus walked boldly
through hall
party and go around the palace
asking king. He finally found
AEgeus, lonely and sad, sat in
inner chamber. The heart of Theseus is very
sad when he saw the lines
the attention on the old man's face, and
marked his trembling path and
stalled.
"The great king,"
he said, "I
a stranger in Athens, and I
come to you to ask for food and
place of residence and friendship
as I know you never
denying people of
rank your own nobles and races."
"And who are you, son
young man?" word
raja.
"I am Theseus" is
his answer.
"What's? Theseus who had
rid
Cercyon the wrestler, and from the Procrustes,
the cruel palanquin?"
"I am him" said
Theseus; "and I am from
from old Troezen, across the Sea
Saronic."
The king started and became very pale.
"Trozen!
Troezen!" her
crying out. Then check
himself, he said, "Yes! yep!
You are welcome, stranger
brave, to the shelter and the food
and friendship like that
can be given the King of Athens."
Now there just happens to be one
witch who
fair but evil with a king named
Medea, who has so much
power over him so that he
never dare to do anything without
ask leave. So he
she looked at him, and said: "Am I
not true, Medea, in welcome
this young hero?"
"You're right, King AEgeus,"
he said; "and let him
immediately delivered to your guest room, so that he
I can rest and after that
eat with us at your table
by yourself."
Medea has learned from art
whose magic is Theseus,
and he's not happy at all
have it in Athens; for he is afraid
that when he had to make
he was known by the king, his own strength
will end. So, when
Theseus was resting in the guest room, he
tell AEgeus that the young man
the stranger is not a hero at all, but
a hired man
his nephew to kill him, because they've
tired of waiting for him to die. Kings
poor old man is filled with fear, because
she trusted
his words; and he asked what he should do
to save his life.
"Let me that

said. "The young man will
come down to eat with us. My

a glass of wine, and at the end of the meal I will

it's easier."
So, when the time comes, Theseus
sit down to
eat with the king and
Medea; and while she ate she recounted
about his actions and about
how he defeated the giants
the robber, and Cercyon the wrestler, the,
and the cruel Procrustes; and when
the king listened, his heart was very

poisonous Medea. Then Theseus stopped
in his talk to take
a piece of grilled meat, and, as is customary
at that time, draw his sword
to carve it—because you have to remember
that all of this happened first
once before people know it.
using a knife and fork in
tabletop. When the sword came out
the scabbard, AEgeus saw
the letters engraved on it—inial his name
by oneself.
"My child! My boy!" her
crying; and he jumped and
take a poisoned wine cup from the table,
and hugged Theseus. Really
a pleasant meeting for father and
kids, and they have a lot of things
to ask and
recounted. As for Medea
evil, he knows that his power day
it's past. He ran out
from the palace, and whistled with that voice
loud and screeching; and
people say that the train is being pulled
the dragon came quickly

get carried away, and no one ever
saw again.
The next morning, AEgeus sent
his emissary,
to tell the whole city
that Theseus was his son, and that
in time he will be king
supplanting him. When fifty
the nephew heard this, they
angry and worried.
"Should this beginner cheat

crying; and they made plans to
