Do you think you can lift it? matched

I will try, mother, said Theseus, and he dug his fingers into the ground beside it, and grasped its uneven edges, and tugged and lifted and strained, until his breath came hard and his arms ached, and his body was covered with sweat, but the stone was not moved at all. matched

At last he said, matched

This task is too hard for me until I have grown stronger. matched

But why do you wish me to lift it? matched

When you are strong enough to lift it, answered Aethra, I will tell you about your father. matched

After that, the boy went out every day and practiced at running, leaping, throwing and lifting. matched

And every day, matched

He rolled some stone out of its place. matched

At first he could move only a little weight. matched

and those who saw him laughed as he pulled and puffed, and grew red in the face. matched

But he never gave up until he had lifted it, and little by little he grew stronger, and his muscles became like iron bands, and his limbs were like mighty levers for strength. matched

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
