Guided Sleep Meditation & Sleep Hypnosis from Sleep Cove · The Full Adventures of Theseus - A Greek Mythology Sleep Story · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

He said that close by a grove of pine trees, which he would soon pass on his way down the slope. matched

There dwelt a robber named Sinus. matched

He was very cruel to strangers. matched

He is called Pine Bender, said the old man, for when he is called a traveller, he bends two tall lithe pine trees to the ground and binds his captive to them, a hand and a foot to the top of each one, and a hand and a foot to the top of the other. matched

Then he lets the trees fly up. matched

and roars with laughter when he sees the traveller's body torn in sunder. matched

It seems to me, said Theseus, that it is full time to rid the world of such a monster. matched

and he thanked the kind man who had warned him, and hastened onward, whistling merrily as he went down towards the grove of pines. matched

soon he came in sight of the robber's house built near the foot of a jutting cliff. matched

Behind it was a rocky gorge and a roaring mountain stream, and in front of it was a garden wherein grew all kinds of rare plants and beautiful flowers. matched

but the tops of the pine trees below it were laden with the bones of unlucky travellers, which hung bleaching white in the sun and wind. matched

On a stone by the roadside sat Sannes himself, and when he saw Theseus coming, he ran to meet him, twirling a long rope in his hands and crying out, matched

Welcome, welcome, dear prince. matched

Welcome to our in-the-true traveler's rest. matched

What kind of entertainment have you? matched

asked Theseus. matched

Have you a pine tree bended down to the ground and ready for me? matched

Aye, two of them, said the robber. matched

I knew that you were coming, and I bent two of them for you. matched

As he spoke, he threw his rope towards Theseus and tried to entangle him in its coils. matched
