The scene is Theseus guided by his mother finds the sword and the sandals left by his father. When King Aegeus of Athens came to Troezen, King Pittheus (son of Pelops) made him drunk and caused him to lie with his daughter Aethra. A child was then conceived, but of uncertain father, since on the same night also Poseidon loved her. On leaving for Athens, Aegeus, who ignored that the god had been with the woman, told Aethra that if she gave birth to a male child, she should rear him without telling who his father was. He then left a sword and sandals under a rock, saying that when his son could roll away the rock and take them up, she would send him to Athens. Aethra, not knowing herself who the father of her child was, did as instructed, and when Theseus was grown up, she showed him the rock, and he, pushing it away, took the sandals and the sword, and left for Athens.
