is on the way with ships and a host of fighting men, and he declares that he will carry sword and fire within our walls and will slay our young men and make our children his slaves. matched

It is the call of duty, said Aegeus, and with a heavy heart, he made ready to go at once across the sea to the help of his people. matched

But he could not take Aethra and her babe, for the fear of the lawless nephews, who would have slain them both. matched

Best of wives, he said, when the hour for parting had come, listen to me, for I shall never see your father's halls, nor dear old treason, nor perhaps your own fair face again. matched

Do you remember the old plain tree which stands on the mountain side, and the great flat stone which lies a little way beyond it, and which no man but myself has ever been able to lift? matched

Under the stone I've hidden my sword and the sandals which I brought from Athens. matched

There they shall lie until our child is strong enough to lift the stone and take them for his own. matched

Now and then she could see a white-winged ship sailing in the offing, but men said that it was a Cretan vessel and very likely matched

was filled with fierce Cretan warriors bound upon some cruel errand of war. matched

Then it was rumored that King Minos had seized upon all the ships of Athens and had burned a part of the city and had forced the people to pay him a most grievous tribute. matched

But further than this, matched

there was no news. matched

In the meantime, Aethra's babe had grown to be a tall, ruddy-cheeked lad, strong as a mountain lion, and she named him Theseus. matched
