A servant ran and told AEgeus, where he sat in his chamber within, by Medeia the dark witch-woman, watching her eye and hand. And when AEgeus heard of Troezene, he turned pale and red again, and rose from his seat trembling, while Medeia watched him like a snake. "What is Troezene to you?" she asked. But he said hastily, "Do you not know who this Theseus is?
Their whole force was, therefore, no less than fifty thousand men. Next in order, Orchomenus ranged its six hundred Arcadians; Sicyon sent three thousand, Epidaurus eight hundred, and Troezene one thousand warriors.
Most of them took refuge in Troezene, where they were generously supported at the public expense some at Aegina others repaired to Salamis. A moving and pathetic spectacle was that of the embarcation of the Athenians for the Isle of Salamis. Their grief was heightened by the necessity of leaving many behind, whose extreme age rendered them yet more venerable, while it incapacitated their removal.
The hero who has cleared the country from all monsters; but that he came from Troezene, I never heard before. I must go out and welcome him." So AEgeus came out into the hall; and when Theseus saw him, his heart leapt into his mouth, and he longed to fall on his neck and welcome him; but he controlled himself, and said, "My father may not wish for me, after all.
She had one fair son, named Theseus, the bravest lad in all the land; and Aithra never smiled but when she looked at him, for her husband had forgotten her, and lived far away. And she used to go up to the mountain above Troezene, to the temple of Poseidon and sit there all day looking out across the bay, over Methana, to the purple peaks of AEgina and the Attic shore beyond.
And when AEgeus heard of Troezene he turned pale and red again, and rose from his seat trembling, while Medeia watched him like a snake. 'What is Troezene to you? she asked. But he said hastily, 'Do you not know who this Theseus is? The hero who has cleared the country from all monsters; but that he came from Troezene, I never heard before. I must go out and welcome him.
They gave up their claim on Nisaea and Pegae they renounced the footing they had established in Troezene they abandoned alliance or interference with Achaia, over which their influence had extended to a degree that might reasonably alarm the Spartans, since they had obtained the power to raise troops in that province, and Achaean auxiliaries had served under Pericles at the siege of Oeniadae . Such were the conditions upon which a truce of thirty years was based . The articles were ostensibly unfavourable to Athens.
I wish there were any likelihood of my soon seeing Primrose, Periwinkle, Dandelion, Sweet Fern, Clover Plantain, Huckleberry, Milkweed, Cowslip, Buttercup, Blue Eye, and Squash Blossom again. Heaven bless them, and everybody else, whether grown people or children! In the old city of Troezene, at the foot of a lofty mountain, there lived, a very long time ago, a little boy named Theseus.
When I was a young man I visited Troezene, in Argolis, and I saw there a myrtle of a most prodigious size, the leaves of which were covered with innumerable pinholes. And this is what the Troezenians say about that myrtle. Queen Phaedra, when she was in love with Hippolytos, used to recline idly all day long under this same tree.
Then they went outside the sacred wall, and looked down over the bright blue sea; and Aithra said 'Do you see this land at our feet? And he said, 'Yes; this is Troezene, where I was born and bred. And she said, 'It is but a little land, barren and rocky, and looks towards the bleak north-east. Do you see that land beyond? 'Yes; that is Attica, where the Athenian people dwell.
