Theseus
Storyboard Text
- Aethra's husband Aegeus was a great warrior and the king of Athens. Aegeus had a signature sword, shield, and fancy sandals.
- When Theseus was born, Aegeus questioned whether or not he was baby Theseus’ father.
- Am I his father??
- Because if he is my son and a true hero, he would have no problem claiming the sword, shield and sandals for himself, that would prove to me that he is my son and heir to my throne.
- As a test he placed his sword, shield, and his sandals under a heavy rock and told Aethra that if Theseus was his son and a true hero, he would have no problem claiming the sword, shield, and the sandals for himself. This would prove that he was Aegeus’ son and heir to his throne.
- why did you do that??
- With that, Aegeus left Troezen for Athens and went to live with his friend Medea, leaving Aethra to raise baby Theseus alone.
- when theseus grew up, Athera told Theseus that Poseidon was his father and about Aegeus' hidden sword, shield, and sandals. Theseus, being a demigod, had no trouble lifting the rock and recovering the sword, shield, and the sandals.
- With his new-found tokens, Theseus set off to find Aegeus and claim his right to the throne.
