Then, on his next birthday, he went on the mountain with his mother and again tried to lift the great stone, but it remained fast in its place and was not moved. matched

I am not yet strong enough, mother, he said. matched

Have patience, my son, said Aethra. matched

So he went on again with his running and leaping and throwing and lifting and he practiced wrestling and also tamed the wild horses of the plain and hunted the lions among the mountains and his strength and swiftness and skill were the wonder of all men and old treason matched

was filled with tales of the deeds of the boy Theseus. matched

Yet when he tried again on his seventeenth birthday, he could not move the great flat stone that lay near the plane tree on the mountainside. matched

Have patience, my son, again said Aethra, but this time the tears were standing in her eyes. matched

So he went back again to his exercising, and he learned to wield the sword and the battleaxe, and to throw tremendous weights, and to carry tremendous burdens. matched

and how he had said that when the lad was strong enough to lift the great stone, he must take the sword and sandals and go and seek him in Athens. matched

Theseus was glad when he heard this, and his proud eyes flashed with eagerness as he said, matched

I am ready, mother. matched

I will set out for Athens this very day. matched

Then they walked down the mountain together and told King Pityus what had happened and showed him the sword and the sandals. matched
