/// Here is Theseus as a young man,
where his great hero’s journey began.
That’s his mother he’s with,
(as revealed in Greek myth).
Aethra tells her son of his Dad’s plan.
/// By a king she had been led astray.
She got pregnant, but he didn’t stay.
“When grown, send me our son,
and to prove he’s the one,
have him bring some things I hid away.”
/// Underneath this huge stone Dad had stored
his two sandals, his shield and his sword
as some odd parting gifts.
He said “When our son lifts
this, his birthright will be his reward.”
