A Father’s Sword
Theseus, I have a surprise for you,
your mother says. Come.
You grab your cloak and follow her outside. She leads you through the streets of Troezen, your home city. You pass shops and thatched homes. All the while, your mother is silent.
Where are we going?
you ask.
Just follow me,
your mother whispers.
She leads you out of town. Eventually the marketplace and houses are left behind. Once Troezen is no longer in sight, your mother turns onto a narrow path that winds its way up a hill.
You’re old enough now,
she begins. It’s time I told you the truth about your father.
This comes as a surprise. Your father left Troezen before you were born. Until now, your mother wouldn’t tell you who he was. She’d never told anyone the truth.
When people asked, your mother said that you were the son of Poseidon. Living near the sea, the people of Troezen honored him above all other gods. He was the city’s patron. So when your mother, Princess Aethra, claimed that Poseidon was your father, no one argued. They did not want to risk angering the mighty sea god. But you never really believed her.
You’ve probably guessed that Poseidon is not your father,
your mother whispers.
Does anyone else know that?
you ask.
Only your grandfather,
she says. He’s the only one who knows the truth.
But why did you lie to everyone, including me, all these years?
you wonder aloud.
In the past, you had begged your mother to tell you who your father really was. She always stuck to her claim that it was Poseidon.
She stops and turns to you. I’m sorry,
she says. I wanted to, but your father — your real father — had warned me not to.
Why?
you ask. Why keep it a secret?
To protect us, to keep you safe,
your mother says. Your father has many enemies.
She turns away and starts walking the rest of the way up the hill.
"Then who is
