So I'm consciously thinking that I need to come off it more and spend more time being present with my family instead of glued to a screen.

So let's begin.

The Adventures of Theseus Part 1 Aegeus and Aethra There was once a king of Athens, whose name was Aegeus.
matched
He had no son, but he had fifty nephews, and they were waiting for him to die, so that one of them might be king in his stead.
matched
They were wild, worthless fellows, and the people of Athens looked forward with dread to the day when the city should be in their power.
matched
Yet so long as Aegeus lived, they could not do much harm, but were content to spend their time in eating and drinking at the king's table and in quarreling among themselves.
matched
It so happened one summer that Aegeus left his kingdom in the care of the elders of the city, and went on a voyage across the Cyronic Sea to the old and famous city of Treason, which he lay nestled at the foot of the mountains on the opposite shore.
matched
treason was not fifty miles by water from Athens, and the purple peaked island of Aegina lay between them.
matched
But to the people of that early time, the distance seemed very great, and it was not often
matched
that ships passed from one place to the other.
matched
And as for going by land, round the great bend of the sea, that was a thing so fraught with danger that no man had ever dared try it.
matched
King Pithus of Treason was very glad to see Aegeus, for they had been boys together, and he welcomed him to his city, and did all that he could to make his visit a pleasant one.
matched
So day after day there was feasting and merriment, and music in the marble halls of old Treason, and the two kings rejoicing.
matched
spent many a happy hour in talking of the deeds of their youth and of the mighty heroes whom both had known.
matched
And when the time came for the ship to sail back to Athens, Aegeus was not ready to go.
matched
He said he would stay a little longer in treason, for that the elders of the city would manage things well at home.
matched
And so the ship returned without him.
matched
But Aegeus tarried, not so much for the rest and enjoyment which he was having in the home of his old friend, as for the sake of Aethera, his old friend's daughter.
