Document Summary
Mother is aethra and she is the princess of troezen, daughter of pittheus. Aegeus slept with aethra in the temple of athena (this is way before medea) Doesn"t have a divine parent so to make him special, the same night that aegeus slept with aethra poseidon did as well. But the original story is aegeus sleeps with aethra and theseus is born. He has his sword and he is on his way to athens to meet his father and along the way to. Takes a pine tree and then holds it over and asks travellers to hold it for him and the travelers let go and the tree flings them. Would challenge travellers to wrestle and when they lost he would kill them so theseus just wrestles him to death. Bull of marathon (not in original but this bull that hercules let go theseus kills it)
